Grip navigated the rugged course through the Catskill Mountains and amassed around 15,000 feet of climbing on his way to the win in 10:58:16. On Saturday, June 26, Grip added yet another victory to his resume with a dynamite performance at the grueling Manitou’s Revenge 54-miler in Windham, N.Y. Grip, 41, opened the season with a second-place finish at the Spring on the Trails 6-Hour Endurance Run in March, followed by victories at the Traprock 50K in April and the Six Hours at the Reservoir and Cayuga Trails 50-mile races in May. All of that made for a jam-packed roundup.Īfter a busy 2020 spent setting numerous Fastest Known Times on trails throughout Massachusetts, Wendell resident Daniel Grip has taken the trail-racing season by storm in 2021. New England ultrarunners turned in strong showings at races in the Northeast, including Manitou’s Revenge in New York, the Forbidden Forest 30-Hour Ultra in Connecticut, and the Catamount 50K in Vermont, as well as farther away at races including the Black Hills 100 in South Dakota. The June 25-27 weekend was dominated by attention on the Western States Endurance Run (see separate recap for New England results), but ultrarunning’s original 100-mile trail run wasn’t the only event of the weekend - far from it.
