February 3, 2007, the 32nd annual 32-kilometer (19.8-mile) cross-country ski tour. The course was the historical trail starting at Senate Creek near Galena Lodge Touring Center 23 miles north of Ketchum and ending at the Sawtooth National Recreation Area headquarters 8 miles north of Ketchum. Title sponsor was Wells Fargo. Of the 818 racers who finished the course—36 more than last year—521 were male and 297 female. Senior racers were Charley French, 80, of Ketchum and Ruth Grubisic, 71, of Rossland, B.C., Canada. Youngest racer was Hannah Bruns, 9, of Salt Lake City. Of the 818 finishers, 168 or 21% of the total field listed Wood River Valley addresses, meaning 79% came from out of the valley. Finishing times of the locals who completed the American Ski Marathon Series course are listed by age class in hours, minutes and seconds. Age and overall rankings (by gender) appear after each racer's name. Local racers and top finishers are listed in bold.
