Zane Grey - The "Toughest " 50 Mile Trail Race Apps

Applications are now being taken online for The Zane Grey 50 Mile Trail Race, which takes place along Arizona's Highline Trail on April 29, 2006, and is considered by ultramarathoners to be the toughest of its kind.

Here's what two elite ultramarathoners had to say about their finishes in last year's race (read their full race reports at the website listed above):

"I was less than two miles into the Zane Grey Highline 50 mile Trail Race and had already traveled off the trail a half dozen times, twisted my ankle and was breathing way too hard." --Ian Torrence

"Going into this race I figured I would finish in 13:30, no problem...LOL, WRONG!!!"--Catra Corbett, aka "Dirt Diva"

And if that's not enough, an excerpt from the Zane Grey website chronicling the history of the Highline Trail states:

"An article in the July 1989 issue of Arizona Highways suggested that it would take four to seven days to hike the trail from end to end."
