Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon

Want to try something different? You trail runners need a wild and interesting new challenge? Try running rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. 11,000 feet change in elevation over the 22 mile trail makes this a very long run (double that if you go Rim to Rim to Rim). The run used to be an organized event, but now it is just your choice to go and do. I have made the hike (when I was much younger) and it was tough then as a hike. This site shows elevation maps as well as a good basic description of trails. Give yourself a tremendous challenge. Great story of one man's rim2rim run.
