I'm working on a sports event, and thinking about suggesting a 50-mile running option.
My very casual internet research suggests all 50-milers and up are primarily on trails. Is that because it's too hard on the body to do it on pavement? Or because people want to be in the woods? Or is it just the difficult logistics of closing off roads?
Upshot is -- if our event added a 50-mile (or up) running option on pavement (point-to-point), would people do it?
