The 1993 El Cap Nightmare race  -  We named it the Chocolate Cream Pie Half Marathon in 1993 (I like pie).  The winner received a chocolate cream pie.






Comparing injuries. Note the runner at left eating pie.

mini-Nightmare Races
In an attempt to increase participation in the Nightmare Races, we organized some shorter trail races and called them "mini-Nightmare" races.  They were semi-tame the first year, but we found some awesome running terrain for the 1996 races.  Here's the first year (1995) races:

There were more Nightmare races, but my involvement ended for a variety of reasons.  I've posted everything that I have, and I hope that everyone who appears in the results, photos, and videos above will get a chance to see this site - please spread the word.  Finally, I'd like to leave you with the following:
