"Note: The Mile High 100 Mile Trail Challenge was held on October 16-17, 1999 at Chatfield State Park just outside of Denver, Colorado. The course is a 8.33+ mile loop on single & double track trails, packed dirt road and a paved road. The course has less than 300 feet of total climbing per lap with a mean elevation of 5700 feet."
"Race day dawned with dire forecasts of temperatures in the 30s, strong winds and snow"
"John Hobbs. One last cup of soup and 8.33 miles to go for 100 miles!"
"John Hobbs, triumphant! 3rd Place 100-Mile Finisher in 32:35:27."
"John Hobbs, champion, with his proud wife and daughter"
