Course
START / FINISH:
The race will start and finish near the gondola house at the top of Silver Mountain. Runners will have access to the lodge for restrooms, food services, and water.
All Courses:
There will be three different distances for this event (6k, 9k, and 18k) (3.7 miles, 5.6 miles, 11.2 miles). All courses are subject to change based on safety and trail conditions. There are no toilet locations on course due to the mountain nature of this event. Please use the restroom at the top mountain lodge before you start.
This is a rugged and challenging trail race. If you want to change your course distance you need to do so BEFORE you start the race. Your last chance to change your event distance will be at packet pick up before you load onto the gondola.
In the event you are unable to finish your distance and you've already started your event, please alert a staff member or a volunteer at an aid station so we know you are safe and can accurately account for you on the course.
The course is set to close at 12:30pm. This allows you 5 hours to complete your 18k distance. Though as long as the participant is making reasonable forward progress, the finish line will remain open until the last participant crosses the line.
Aid Stations
This is a cup free event. Please bring a refillable water cup or bottle. A small amount of cups will be available for emergencies. Aid stations will be equipped with the water, sports drink, GU gels, and gummy bear chews. 25k runners will have additional salty snacks. Please do not litter on course and dispose of your trash at the aid stations.
