This is my first 100 mile mountain race. If your new, My name is Paul and I started running beginning of 2023. 100 days in I completed the 6th hardest marathon on earth. After that I ran 80 miles in a 24 hour challenge and placed 2nd. I went on to run a 50 miler on Catalina Island, 50k near Folsom Lake, 100k In Oregon (my first dnf) where people where messing with the course markers, and now this.
This is one of the toughest 100 milers around. Being close to home I signed up. Solitude is something I enjoy about long distance running. In this 100 miler I find I enjoy solitude only so long. I hope you enjoy my film. This film Highlights both loops of the Cool Moon course. There are MANY races during the Cool Moon 100. Their race website and information are below. Message me on this films comments or Instagram for more information, or just to say hi. Cheers!

The course consists of a 13.5mile (North) loop and an 11.5mile (South) loop, upon which runners will complete in the order of North, then South. Each runner will complete (4) 13.5mile loops and (4) 11.5mile loops to achieve the 100mile distance.
