The Spitfire 50k is a great race! I liked how there was a lot of variety -climbing/descending and flat. Also, the fun is not over when you finish. There is lots of food, plenty of massage tables, and good people to visit with. I recommend bringing the whole family and enjoy all the race distances. Joseph Taylor - Utah

Loved the atmopsphere, awesome people, and wonderful course. Can't wait for next year! Bryon Tom

I had an amazing time on the spitfire ultra trail! It was challenging, well organized, and thoughtfully designed. My best friend and I were training for a Spartan Beast, and running up and down the butte was perfect training for it! The organizers did a lovely job and the volunteers were amazing. I will definitely be returning next year to do it again! Thanks for what you do! -Hannah Simmons

I'm excited to run the race after seeing the course through the eyes of the race director. Danielle Maloni - Idaho Falls

The Spitfire 25k kicked my rear! I absolutely loved the course and the fun atmosphere of everyone involved. I was looking for a tough trail run to add to my spring training schedule and the Spitfire did not disappoint. The course is scenic, challenging, and tons of fun! I will be back for more!
