Now we are at day 2... Scott Jurek wins in record time!
Woohoo!
Finally, Scott gets to kiss the Hardrock
Cooling down
A well deserved hug
Karl Meltzer, 2nd place
Karl is tough!
...and tired
Scott and Karl talk about the race

Good run!
Yeah! You are a "Hardrocker"!
Tears of joy

It looked easier than it is!

1st place male and female, both new course record holders
I had to put this shot in here....this is Charlie Thorn's house moved out into the street. Many of us helped Charlie with this project. If you think it's hard to run Hardrock, you could try moving a house on the week leading up to the race!
John Dewalt, aged 71, 12 time finisher and one time house mover sitting beside Oscar, the Wrublick's cool little dog. He wanted so much to curl up in John's lap.
