Joe and Joyce Prusaitis are the race directors and their goal is to provide Texas hospitality and take care of all the ultra trail runners. Their goal is to see you cross the finish line in under 30 hours, and they are there to provide “more encouragement than sympathy” to keep you moving.

My sub 24 hour finishers belt buckle
The 2011 Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile Ultra Trail Race started out as an adventure for most runners just getting into Texas and the Huntsville area.

June 10, 2010
As the Golden Gate Dirty Thirty’s Ultra Trail Race web site says, “If you love meandering single track trails through peaceful aspen groves, grassy meadows, tranquil pine forests and rocky ridges with majestic views of snow capped mountains, you will LOVE this race!” Hands-down this has been my favorite 50K ultra trail race! It had everything that you could ask for in an ultra trail race: one single loop, lots of single track, fantastic scenery in Golden Gate State Park, challenging climbs (the 50K

The Jemez Mountain 50 Mile Ultra Trail Race was by far the toughest 50 mile ultra trail run that I have ever done.

The Jemez Mountain Trail 50 Mile Ultra Trail Race had everything that you would want in a
