This race is unique in that it provides several different length options for folks. For the “hardcore”, the race can be run solo! This will be a serious test of endurance as the solo runner navigates this difficult course with ~13,500 ft of vertical gain. For the less masochistic runner, tackling this course as a relay is a far better option. The race splits into nearly perfect thirds, so with a 3 person team, each runner gets “roughly” 17 miles. No section is necessarily easier than any other… they’re all difficult. It can also be run as a two person team (partial ultra), where one runner has a 34 mile leg, and the other gets a 17 mile. At the awards ceremony, both the 2-person and 3-person teams will fall into the same “relay” category.
