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.
final climb to Deer Point Junction at mile 17
