The 2007 Catherines Fat Ass 50k featured great weather, fast times, and some course confusion to go with the stellar post-race events. With the high for the day being 75 degrees, many of the trails seemed easier than normal. Granted, the Catherines course could not be described as flat and fast, but there are only three hills.
The Post-Race went well, very well.
Please see the 2007 Volunteers page to see who to thank for this year's CFA fun.
