(:<br /><br />Interestingly, the two-month time window also applies to Grand Canyon R2R2R, yet there is no shortage of ultrarunners who I hear about doing that every year. But there are no permit issues there, either. The web site seemed to imply that the permits are for camping.. Do you also need a permit just to be on the trail? To do it all at once would require a crew of some sort and I imagine the logistics for something like that would be intimidating.. but it would definitely be a worthy thing to attempt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847906.post-91296075087669940852011-04-28T22:53:06.103-04:002011-04-28T22:53:06.103-04:00Hey Steven,

I think the reason that more ultrarunners don't do the Wonderland is the amount of prep and a very short time window. You have less than 2 month time window and to run it without snow and without bugs that window goes down to less than 3 weeks. Also, you have to get your permits in between March 15 and April 1 or you are almost out of luck. For many, that level of prep for only a couple days puts it into the category of annoying with so many other places where you can go.<br /><br />It would still be worth it, but for some might be considered a hassle.<br /><br />I'm digging your blog by the way.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04249655831923837855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847906.post-9738567818140649892010-04-25T10:37:52.121-04:002010-04-25T10:37:52.121-04:00I came across your site this morning, very cool.
...I came across your site this morning, very cool.<br /><br />We are building a new brand up here in Portland around the idea of a Bucket List and the gear that goes along the adventures. If you have some free time, would like to invite you to share some of your stories with our community. You have done some cool things and they would make a nice addition.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Andrew<br />www.YourLUME.comAndrewhttp://www.yourlume.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847906.post-2035770778719901322009-09-29T23:32:29.260-04:002009-09-29T23:32:29.260-04:00I did the wonderland a few weeks ago in 3 days as ...I did the wonderland a few weeks ago in 3 days as a hike/little run. You might be interested in the writeup I did for NWhikers forum. I have an ultrarunning background and have done the trail before in 36 hours.

When I go on a hike, the desire to break out into a run because pretty intense after a couple of hours. (: <br /><br />Ceej- this is a series of posts.

While I was there, I met a guy running the trail in 44 hours. He said it was a training run for a upcoming 22-hour attempt.<br /><br />I can imagine the idea of running it would be pretty intriguing, but it is really such an amazing trail, I would suggest you spend a week and backpack it first (which most folks would still consider fast).F.
