The Mile High Metric Challenge
Littleon, CO, April 7, 2002
Results courtesy of Coach Weber.
1993 World Champion
Marathoner, Mark Plaatjes of the Boulder Running Company set a new 50K course
record at the Mile High Metric Trail Challenge at Chatfield State Park in
Littleton, Colorado. The Mile High Metric Trail Challenge is an annual
event put on by Coach Scott Weber and is run on a 12.5K dirt trail loop at an
elevation of 'one mile high'. The course features 3 short
up-hills per 12.5K loop. Approximately 8.5K of each 12.5K loop are on a
wide dirt path; the remaining 4K is on a twisty forest trail along the Platte
River . This 4K section requires agile footwork and presence of mind to
stay upright and keep the pace fast.
Plaatjes' time of 3 hours
20 minutes 22 seconds broke Charl Mattheus' 50K course record of 3 hours 23
minutes and 02 seconds which was set in 1998. Charl Mattheus is the 1997
Comrades Marathon Champion. Both Plaatjes and Mattheus are expected to square
off at this year's Comrades Marathon on June 16th and contend for the
championship together with the world's best ultramarathoners.
