100k & Extended Cut Offs

100k race:
The 100k race has been well received.  Characterized by relentless climbs and descents, with a cumulative altitude gain of almost 10,000’, the race will test the skill and endurance of the seasoned runner.  Runners need to prepare for additional climbing in the late afternoon hours when the heat is greatest, or plan to run the earlier miles more slowly and arrive at the 48 mile aid station at Tungsten City in the very late afternoon.  The remaining 12 miles will then be done in the twilight and night hours, a most spectacular time to be on the trail.  The night sky is dark, with an astounding starscape.

Extended Cut Offs:
Recognizing the increasing age of our faithful runners who return year in, year out, we have extended the cut off times for the 50 mile, 50k and 20 mile event to 15 hours. We have added 30 minutes to the cut-off times at Edison Loop, Intake 2 and Buttermilk Road.  Runners will have until 9pm to reach the Tungsten City aid station for the 100k, and any runners leaving Tungsten City after then will be directed to the finish line to be credited with a 50 mile race time.

Package pick up:
Package pick up, and runner check-in will be at Sage to Summit Running Store, 312 North Main Street, Bishop. Karen will be open from 10am to 8pm, and has an extensive selection of shoes, running apparel and all the supplies you might need to purchase. She is our major race sponsor, and we thank her for her support. Her business has been named one the best running stores in California, according to a Runners World poll. Karen is an expert in fitting running shoes as well.
