Title:Cry Me A River Ultra Race
Date:Sunday July 10th, 2022
Author:michael glennon
Report:
Running at Galena Sky (8 hour run), I met with a good friend which she and her co-director host a very quite hilly race in Chillicothe , Illinois during early July. I hope you enjoyed reading my post below since it was like a reunion gathering for me.

Event : CMAR 100k
Date: July 8, and 9th , 2022
Location : Chillicothe, Illinois

Race Directors : Jenna Bahaj and Shawn Brandon
Run Logistics Director: Billy Thom (www.runrace.net)

Race Recap:

Sleeping all week to build up energy for the race, I decided to start early for 100k with other 100 milers at noon on July 8,2022. I had everything packed in trash bag in case if
torrential rain came. I separated each loop which is about 4,700 total elevation. Enjoy the read separated by each loop.

Loop 1- Feeling down to earth with this home based trail race hosted by Jenna and Shawn. I felt great and once we all ran in nice and perfect weather for 2 mile loop before going on 18 mile loop. I had ran this race three times which the directors hit it out of the ballpark wirh markings and excellent well stocked aid stations. It was raining hard during late afternoon during my 18 mile loop resulting in trail overflow which was kind of cooldown with the humidity level. Race was put on hold until weather subsides. It was just part of the trail experience :) Directors did a good job handling this along with logistic director’s help.

Loop 2- All dried up and ready to go. My headlamp went on the frizz and wires were melting which I improvised with a flashlight. My watch went dead at total of 15 hours. I just followed mile markers on the path and figuring out for aid station distances. It was just surreal seeing those CITRA folks helping out at aid stations which felt like a reunion. I have ran Farmdale, Chillbilly, Potawomi , NotAgain and CMAR which Jenna and Shawn are part of the running group based in south Illinois.

Loop 3- I changed clothes again due to high humidity and dampness. I just felt great and dry. Looking forward to finishing loop 3 within my goal. It was also fun watching those speedsters zipping by me for their 100k and 100 mile finish:)

At last, look no further beyond Cry Me A River race which information can be found at www.runrace.net which is owned by Billy Thom. Billy Thom also hosts 8 hr terra pans, Palos 25/50k in Fall and Spring along with 8 hour winter classic in January. I always have a blast working under Bill’s wing. If you would like to know what its like to experience trail races, sign up or volunteer at a trail race.

In addition, I signed up for CMAR as a training run to prepare myself for Hawk Hundred (Kansas)in Septemeber along with Tuscobia 160 miler (Wisconsin) in end of December.

Run Happy
