The 2009 Mount Mitchell Challenge

The Black Mountain Marathon and Mount Mitchell Challenge is a yearly event in Western North Carolina. Here is a brief description, taken from the marathon’s website:

The Challenge is this: Begin at dawn in Black Mountain, the quaint “front porch of Western North Carolina”, and follow trails to the “rooftop” of Western North Carolina, the 6,684′ summit of Mount Mitchell – eastern America’s highest point – then return to the start/finish area! With a starting altitude of 2,360′, the elevation gain for this 40-mile run will be 4,324′ – in the first 20 miles!

Needless to say, no one from Image 420 will be participating in this event. But we wish those who are tough enough to participate nothing but the best.
