scott snell's thoughts:

I ran the 2018 Twisted Branch 100k as a replacement race for the Eastern States 100 miler which was cancelled this year. As disappointing as that was, the good to come from the situation was that I discovered a new trail race that I may have never run otherwise. And what a great trail race it was! TB 100k has pretty much everything that I look for in a trail race: great organization, beautiful scenery along the course, well stocked aid stations, awesome volunteers, an encouraging community, and terrain that won't let you become bored. While it is primarily trail, the course does have some short intermittent road sections that connect the trail sections. It's a point to point race so that adds a bit more to the logistics for the runners and spectators, but the race organizers did a great job of providing shuttles and maps of checkpoints. While the course was not easy, I would also say the terrain was not the most challenging I've run either. It may be a tough first 100k for beginning trail runners, but by no means would I discourage any first time 100k runners from making this their first go at the distance.
