The 13th NIFTY FIFTY Races

Race Reports

2004 was the 13th year of the Nifty 50 Races.   The event started in 1992 as a 50 mile run.   A few years later a 50 kilometer run was added.  Both of these are ultra-marathons.  A couple of years ago a marathon was added.  In 2003 thirteen runners finished the marathon.  2003 was the last running of the Ocean State Marathon.   This left the marathon portion of the Nifty 50 as the only marathon in Rhode Island, and a must run for those who want to run a marathon in each state.   This year 88 finished the marathons, 14 finished the 50-kilometer run, and 13 finished the 50 mile run.    I ran and finished the 50 kilometer run.

These reports are e-mails that were sent before and after the Nifty 50 Races.
