Dirt Bag versus Goody Bag, A Trail Runner’s Dilemma
This past weekend I ran the first road race I’ve done in over a decade.
For the past ten years or more I’ve done nothing but trail races. They’ve varied in length from 13.1 miles all the way up to 50 miles. My main criteria when choosing an event is that it must have less than 250 people, be at least 50% on singletrack trails (the rest can be on fire roads), it’s got to be really hilly and be as self-supporting in nature as possible. When I say self supporting, for example, it would mean that a race would need to have no more than two, maybe three aid stations over a marathon length course…and you may actually be required to find them in order to use them.
The people who are usually at the start of these races are definitely a different lot. Most are wearing running clothes that look as if they’ve been slept in for the last week (and probably have), they typically don’t have one piece of material that matches in color in any way and their beefy trail running shoes have multiple layers of mud coating them. And given the typical early starts of backcountry running events, most of us standing around the start have on raggedy looking fleece jackets and are sipping coffee or tea to warm up until right at race time.
Long distance trail running requires a different mentality altogether. Sure, there are people who will torch a course regardless of whether the distance is a half marathon or 100 miles. But the majority of people who run these things are generally looking for something above and beyond the typical gigantic mainstream road event. I mean c’mon, you have to be a little “different” to go out and run 50 or 100 miles knowing that the bulk of the time you’ll be running alone in the backcountry, have limited access to any kind of support other than your own and know for sure that extreme physical discomfort is as probable as another plastic surgery is for Joan Rivers.
For those of us that choose these events, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Even if we aren’t the first person to the finish line, it’s still feels like a huge personal accomplishment to fight through the mental and physical aspects of long distance trail running and emerge knowing that you can do tough things under tough circumstances. We certainly don’t train for these things just to get another t-shirt and a goody bag filled with hundreds of coupons and race applications. If you do happen to get a goody bag at a trail event, it usually has gloves for cold morning starts, a Clif Bar, some mole skin and a toenail maintenance/extraction kit…which are certainly used from time to time. Many of the trail races here in Rockies involve rocky singletrack trails with insane amounts of elevation gain, stream/river crossings, boulder hopping and a nauseating lack of oxygen for those of us choosing events that take us over 10,000 feet above sea level. It’s why many events will never see more than a hundred or so people.
