Jed Smith Finds a New Home
50 km winner Chad Worthen accepts his winner's certificate from Co-Race Director John Blue
How fast can you run 30 km? How about 50 km? Fifty miles?
This past weekend, a small crowd of distance runners met up at the Watt Avenue access to the American River to explore that question.
The Jed Smith Ultra Classic is a 33-year-old, local tradition hosted by the Buffalo Chips Running Club.
Traditionally held at Gibson Ranch Park in Elverta, the race has been relocated along the American River due to cuts in the County’s park budget.
