About the race
Crush the Cargill CtC 100 Miler is a looped trail ultramarathon held as part of the Crush the Cargill event series. The race covers 161 km over 19 laps with a total of 10,830 m of ascent and 10,830 m of descent and is organised with a 36-hour time limit for completing the course.
Entry is by koha, with proceeds donated to the Valley Project. Finishers will have the option to purchase a commemorative buckle for NZ$10. Basic on-site facilities include camping space at Bethunes, toilets, tap water (available when working), and a communal BBQ. A Saturday dinner will be offered for a donation.
The course includes extended sections run in darkness early in the event; the organisers note that the first seven hours occur in the dark. The race format consists of repeated laps rather than a point-to-point route, and runners complete multiple circuits to accumulate the full distance.
Information about entry, runner details, results, and images is maintained by the event organisers. The presentation on official pages includes participant statements and characterisations of the event, but this description focuses on measurable race details, entry model, and on-site provisions.
