Running

Anyone here interested in running an ultra? 50K? 50M? 100K? 100M? 

Or maybe you just have some questions or things you've always wondered about, but don't necessarily want to do one (yet).

AMA!

What would be a good, scenic first ultra to do, ideally in the western US, in the 50k to 50 mile range?

Great question! Let me think about this, and put together a list.

Starting with CA:

Avalon 50M
Sean O’Brien 50K/50M
Ray Miller 50K/50M
Malibu Cyn 50K/50M
Kodiak 50K
Mammoth 50K

Marin Ultra Challenge
Lake Sonoma 50k/50M
Quad Dipsea (28M) - Right @willy?
Canyons 50K
Tamalpa Headlands 50K
Tahoe Rim Trail 50K

I've done most of these, but if I haven't, I've been on the course.

Thanks, didn't expect there to be so many! Curious what about in WA?

Orcas Island and Capitol Peak comes to mind. Some to your neighbors north/south. Secret Beach (OR coast), Mt Hood, Fat Dog (BC), Gorge Waterfalls.
