No Mans 50K

OVERVIEW

What is the No Man’s 50K Challenge? Well, it is exactly as it sounds. It is a trail running endurance challenge for Women! Hence the name: No Man’s 50K Challenge. Okay, it is a slight play on words. Men, husbands, boyfriends, children, family and significant others will be part of the challenge, just not in a running capacity. The co-race directors for this race and series will be Katie and Zoe Papadopoulos. The creations are born out of simplicity. Our idea for a Women’s only trail race and series started in 2016. Our eldest daughter Katie, age 8 at the time, wanted to know there were so many men in trail races and said “There are not enough women in your races.” A simple observation made by a kid who has been attending ultras since she was an infant. Dad responds, “Yeah, I know.” Katie answers, “Well, let’s make one and I can do your job.” And so an adventure for the ages begins!
