Sunday was the Cheyenne Cañon Mountain Race, a new event outside of Colorado Springs, created specifically to select the members of the USMRT (The first Selection Race was a month ago at Mt Cranmore in New Hampshire). The race thus had no history, relatively low general participation (36 women and 46 men), but very tight competition at the top end, especially among Women, as runners travelled into the state hoping to earn a spot on the Team.Nancy Hobbs is the Mountain Running Team Manager, and also the Race Director. She writes an excellent Press Release, which is quoted in part in italics below. The full PR will probably appear here.
