Mount Mitchell Challenge

perfect thx.  run through the nets for 30min-1hr at most and pull together some links to other nice looking sites.  leadville 100 should have good one.

others (i think) famous long run races
monte blanc (europe)
wasatch 100
western states ultra
hard rock ultra
shenandoah ultra
north face challenge (sf) i think
ironman kona
rock creek, upchuck 50 , stumpjump 50

see if any of those have nice stuff maybe

all those sites are horrible.

leadville has the best graphical layout. single page style, that just focuses to each section of content from the nav

this one has a nice 'sub site' feel to it. which may work fine for how much content MM has.

not sure if any decent shots on there

if you look for last race (feb) there may be some local photographers posting shots, not sure

is the race always in the winter? nothing but crappy overcast dead tree and ice pictures in there.

yep.  last weekend of feb every year on purpose so weather is harsh to make harder race conditions

see if can find any links to amateur photogs on fb/current site/etc, could have sworn ive seen some galleries, and if so, im sure we can get access
