2005 Race Recap
The pilot running of the Busa Bushwhack took place on December 5,
2004. There were twenty-one runners and twelve volunteers for the
event, and about half the runners were non-GFRC members. It was
such a success, it was decided by the GFRC to make it an annual
event. In 2005, due to snowy trail conditions, the race was turned
into a two-distance event: a 15k or a 5.6 miler (although some ran 6.8).
