The combination of high altitude and dirt trails and darkness will be a new challenge for the participants. At the start competitors will find themselves at the top of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, just under 11000 feet, and from there down the slope with a headlamp to the colorfully lit finish line. To reach the start line, the participant will need to use the elevator.

Race Info
A minimum height of 36 inches is required to climb the elevator. This means that small children less than 36 inches in height are not allowed to participate in the race.
Since the start time will stretch overnight, there will not be an awarding ceremony. After the competition, the organizers will mail out awards to the top 5 men and women in the age groups. This is a cupless event. No refillable cups will be offered. There will only be 3 aid stations on the course. There will be toilets, water, gels and basic first aid supplies at the aid stations.
It is compulsory to have a headlamp, as the race is held at night. The course will be marked, but not lit. The time limit will be 5 hours.
