Hello,I'm doing Silverrush 50 as my first 50.

Andrew Reiff replied to Alex. Burke's discussion Trail Conditions"I would guess that about 80% or more of the Silver Rush course is runnable. That's just a guess, but I'm a local and I run on the trails on the east side of town every week. You might run into some snow above 11,500 ft wherever there are…"
