Trail vs. Road Racing

Consistency in race routes can significantly impact performance comparisons, especially in ultramarathons where course changes are common. While some races, like Comrades, maintain a stable course for year-to-year comparisons, others, such as the Angels Crest 100 miler, evolve over time, making historical comparisons challenging. Ultimately, the focus shifts from time and conditions to the achievement of winning prestigious races, solidifying a competitor's legacy in the sport.
