Time limit: The race cutoff is ~6 hours. You need to be on 6 hour pace when you reach the road crossing in Elsinore at approximately 9:15 am to continue to the finish.

*The race course will be certified (Boston Qualifier pending course certifcation).*

Getting to the start:

Busing to the start will not be provided. You are responsible to get yourself to the start line. The starting area is completely accesible from HWY 89 without crossing the race route. Consider having your support crew dropp you off, finding a ride with fellow competitors, or using one of the shuttle services in Richfield (more information on arrangments with the shuttle companies will be provided). This is one of the ways that we are keeping the race cost low! (You could also even stay the night in a train car right next to the start!).

Aid Stations and Bathrooms:

There will be a total of 9 aid stations along the race course that will have restrooms available.

Volunteers:

We are looking for volunteers to help run this race! Please contact the race director if you are interested.
