|  Top ultrarunners headed to Sunmart Texas Trail Endurance Runs November 28, 2001
More than 1,000 of the top ultra marathoners from over 40 states and five countries are expected to compete in the 2001 Sunmart Texas Trail Endurance Runs at Huntsville State Park on Dec. 8. Sunmart continues to be the largest trail endurance run in the United States with two separate runs, a 50 miler and a 50-kilometer event. The entire race takes places in the confines of the tree-studded park, which is located one hour north of Houston on IH-45.
The top finishers from 2000 have agreed to compete in this race,
with
some strong contenders expected to challenge, according to
second year
race director Roger Soler of San Antonio.
"Right now, we're about 10% ahead of last year's pace as far as
registration goes," said Soler, a 1984 Peruvian Olympian and a
former
Sunmart 50K champion. "I think this year's race will be one of
the most
competitive ones we've ever seen. There will also be a cash
purse to the
overall winners, but the amount has not been determined as of
yet."
For more information, call Soler at (210) 366-3701.
