Course, requirements and logistics
Courses sit at an average elevation over 10,000 ft and include single-track trails, fire roads and a few dirt-road stretches. The route passes high alpine and sub-alpine meadows, old mining encampments, ghost towns and abandoned mines. The 10-Mile and 19-Mile routes run on the Gold Dust Trail; the 100k is a point-to-point; the 100-Mile covers 83 non-repetitive miles across three ranger districts in two US National Forests with an average elevation near 10,800 ft.
Key policies and services: 100-Mile and 100k entrants must meet published qualifying standards (proof of prior official race results). 100-Mile entrants must complete eight hours of certified volunteer service in the specified period or pay a $150 buy-out. Crews, pacers, drop-bag rules, aid-station support, a limited shuttle from Como to the 100-Mile/100k start (fee applies), camping for a weekend fee, and a mandatory Thursday night in-person briefing for 100k and 100-Mile runners are all part of the event logistics. Awards: 100-Mile finishers receive a belt buckle; all other finishers receive a medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
