Shafer-Butte ~52 Mile Endurance Run - Boise, ID 06.09.07

This is roughly 52 miles of trail and jeep roads, and is a low-key "club-style" or "fatass-style" race. There was over 10,000 feet of climb with elevations between 2,800 and 7,500 feet. The weather was mild, in the 50's at the start and maybe reaching 80 later.
