"In order for tourism to continue to grow and bring revenue to our
county, visitors must feel welcome and want to return. The success of
the Mountain Masters Trail Run demonstrates how this can be
accomplished through the effort and cooperation of Harlan County
citizens."

"My neighbor Beth and I ran this race. That hill at the Kingdom Come
entrance (mile 12) was a kick in the pants ... but wasn't the finish so
awesome? ... My only regret was that there were so many things I wanted
to look at, and I didn't have time (all the overlooks) and then there
was the wild looking rock right before the finish, I pointed to it as
we ran past and told Beth, 'let's come back after we finish and check
this out.' but alas! After cookies and gatorade! I forgot about my
scenic wonder. ... Anyways.. I'm telling anyone and everyone, this race
was awesome! and I love my bowl! They give handmade pottery instead of
plastic trophies! It's awesome
Ok the course was brutal!! But I loved running along that ridge, even
if twas windy! The views were nice. I really can't wait to run it again
next year! That was my first trail race, and I just fell in love with
it! The other runners were so supportive, and just had this general
positive attitude... that everyone was out there because they loved it,
and thought it was fun... it just made for a great afternoon!"

"Great to see the race is back again this year. I did the Derby full
marathon and am doing Columbus this year as well. However, I know that
my toughest race will still be this 16 mile juggernaut."
