I ran a 50K in Santa Cruz in late september. The most novel part of the course is the four river crossings
of the San Lorenzo River.

This race was my first trail race after I moved to California in 2008, and the course is beautiful so I have fond
memories of this race, but this year it was quite a slog. Two weeks earlier I ran the Rae Lakes Loop in one day and my back was still sore, and I had some heart events which were much stronger than normal so the day was very tough. It took me more than 40 minutes longer to finish this year, and i think only 3 people ran the race slower than I did.
I think you are absolutely right about the pumpkin patch comment! ;)
