2002 Race Results26th ANNUAL ESCARPMENT TRAIL RUNThe Marathon of Escarpment RunsThis year's Escarpment Trail Run was highlighted by impressive winning performances by male and female defending champions on a day that was more conducive to splitting your head open than blowing away the field. Ben Nephew coasted to a ten-minute victory over the men's field, recording his third consecutive victory. Cassy Byrne recorded her fourth win in five years and came within 30 seconds of her own course record (finishing 4th overall). Cassy now owns the four fastest women's times recorded over this rock- and root-strewn roller coaster. Cloudy skies kept temperatures from reaching the 90's as predicted, but the high humidity and occasional rain made the normally nasty footing even more of a challenge. The kazillion rocks that runners are forced to use for footholds became very slick, sending most runners to the ground at least once. And of course this year's ample supply of bees, stinging at least 25% of the field, added another dimension to conquering the course. The overall theme of this year's race had to be the volunteers and race crews who carted water, supplies, and first aid into the eight aid stations. The Escarpment Trail offers no road access to any point outside the start and finish, and all aid stations require at least a 2 mile uphill hike to access them. Even the stations that are in the saddles between mountains are nothing but uphill climbs. Runners cresting the climbs of Windham (1,700 ft. elevation gain in 3.5 miles) Blackhead Mountain (1200 ft. gain in 1.1 miles) and Stoppel Point (el. 3450 feet) were greeted by cheering race volunteers who had lugged as much as 30 gallons to their appointed checkpoints. Likewise, at the bottom of every death defying descent, another group awaited with refreshments and first aid (much needed this year). Thanks to all who made this day possible, both the runners and the volunteers, making this one of the most special days of the year in trail running. It remains to be the highlight of our running year. See you all in 2003 on the last Sunday in July!
