Run Rules:

LAST MINUTE PACKET PICK-UP by 4:30 am, June 17th, at the start line. Mandatory check-in and bib pick-up, at the start line, Town park. We’ll describe the trail using the recommended Trails Illustrated “Silverton, Lake City” map. Again, please plan on carrying this map, sold at many stores in town. Also, remember to buy a Hiker’s Certificate at runner check-in or at one of the stores in town!

AID will be available at 6 locations. We will try to set out many kinds of foods for your dining pleasure. Aid Stations #2 - #5 are fully stocked with sandwiches, and the usual array of cookies, chips, bannanas, etc. Aid Stations #1 and #6 are not as fully equiped as few runners eat at mile 8, and few can eat at mile 47. Note: there are 2 nine-mile stretches between aid up there on the Divide. Carry a lot and be ready for anything.

CUT-OFFS will be in effect at aid #2, Williams Creek (10 am), aid #3, Carson (12:45 pm), and at aid #5, Slumgullion Pass (6pm). There is a 16-hour cut-off at the finish line (9 pm). You must be out of the aid station at the published cut off time, to the second according to the race clock. Please note these cutoffs before you send us your entry, as they will be strictly enforced for your safety! No refunds are available to those who miss cutoff times!!

DROP BAGS will be ferried to the following aid stations: #2 (15.7), #3 (22), #6 (40). Please do send extra gear.

ENVIRONMENT FIRST is the credo of this run. Any runner caught messing with the local ecology will be pulled. If you throw any trash, including drink cups, on the ground, you will be DQ’d. Never litter ANYWHERE. Bury human waste at least 6” deep, 200’ from water sources and 50’ from any trail.
Use common sense and courtesy with respect to the land, water, and all others out there enjoying the mountains, including race volunteers. Just because you’re running does not mean you have the right of way or the right to be impolite. We know you’re tired; try not to be cranky about it. The old Ultra “no whining” rule is in effect at this event.

STAY ON TRAIL Any trail deviation forces us to DQ you; however, on the Divide section (mile 23 - 36), you may parallel the trail (i.e., get down!) if the weather causes you exceptional fear. Keep an eye on those clouds! Finishing this race in a particular time is definitely not worth your life. Also, the last mile of the race, in town (mile 49), is “open” back to the finish at the park.

CHECK IN AND OUT of each aid station. Let someone know if you drop. There are real safety concerns here.

CREWS may go to the following two locations only: Williams Creek (15.7) and Slumgullion Pass (40). Please park well off the roads and observe all directives given by local law enforcement. Be forewarned that they pick up speeders like there’s no tomorrow. Aid may be given a runner only within 100 yds of an aid station. Also, please leave your dog(s) in your car at the aid stations. Please don't make us ask you to do this, as our volunteers are busy helping runners.

PACERS are allowed from mile 40 (aid #6).
