"This year with the Ultra Ladies has been an amazing experience for me". -- Netty Elizabeth -- 2019
"I was very pleased with how Avalon 50-Mile went. My mentors were awesome in helping me get to the finish line
and your words of wisdom echoed in my head the whole way! It would've been a lot harder without all your support
and I'm looking forward to the new season!" -- Ivy Castillo -- First 50-Mile Run -- January 2018
