Race Info
There will be five aid stations along the course. Runners will visit each of these twice or three times, for an average of six miles of spacing. The rail trail has a barely perceptible grade to the south. It loses 900 feet in 63 miles for a 2% grade. There are no mandatory requirements for the 100-mile race, but it’s strongly recommended that you have already successfully completed a run of 50 miles or more.
This is an out-and-back course that uses 25 miles of the upper canyon section. The start and finish are at Asaph. The 100-miler runners will go two outs and backs to Blackwell, passing through the canyon four times. The 100K runners go once to Blackwell and return. The 50M course will be ยฝ of the 100M course, going once to Blackwell. The marathoners will turn around just below Tiaghdaton.
The finisher awards are mugs made by a local artisan. Each is handcrafted and has its own unique character. These mugs are not available for sale and are only given to participants who finish the event.
