I had so much fun volunteering last year at the Twin Peaks 50/50, handing out water to amazing athletes at the top of Saddleback Mountain, that when Dirty Feet Productions came calling for the Harding Hustle, I had to answer.

The Hustle had both a 30K and 50K course, with nearly 6000 feet of elevation gain as the runners raced up and then back down the Harding Truck Trail. Check out the video by “The Running Fat Guy” who ran it in 2010.

My collection of photos from the 2011 race are below.
