2012 VOYAGEUR 50 MILE RESULTS

Drop Bags and Crew Access

Drop bags may be left at the Beck's Road aid station.  Runners will access this aid station 4 times during the race.  Please mark your bag for Beck's Road and leave it at the start line prior to the start of the race for transportation to the aid station.  You may also leave a drop bag at the Zoo turnaround and start/finish.  You can access your vehicle here at the halfway point as well.

Crews should have access to the Magney-Snively and Becks Road aid stations.  However, please be aware that Skyline Parkway is rough due to runoff and Becks Road is under construction.  We would encourage crews not to go to these aid stations if possible.  Access is poor and your runner will have access to drop bags at Becks Road and fully stocked aid stations. 

Packet Pick-Up and Post Race at the Zoo

The packet pick up on Friday night from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. will be at the Duluth Zoo under the tent.  Post race lasagna feed will also be held at the Duluth Zoo under the tent.  Same great meat and vegetarian lasagna from Cozy Cafe in Carlton as always.  We may try to server the lasagna a little earlier this year as well to get some food in our early finishers a bit sooner.

We will try to get out updated race packets to you via e-mail in the next day or two.  Please remember that the Voyageur starts this year at 6:00 a.m.

Course Direction Update

It has been determined, in an effort to keep things a little less complicated, that we will run the TWO loops of the new Voyageur course in the SAME DIRECTION.  This will not be an out-and-back type loop as previously stated.  This should help reduce the confusion a little bit and keep the course markings a bit easier to manage.  The aid station distances below have been changed to reflect this development.

Voyageur 50 Maps and Profile

Voyageur 50 maps and profile below.  Please note the differences between the Half Voyageur and Voyageur 50 courses.  We will most likely be running the loop backward for the second loop to make it sort of like an out-and-back, so the arrows on the trail will denote the first loop of the course.
