Run Rabbit Run 100 Mile

Run Rabbit Run 100 Mile

There are two start times and one deadline. The Tortoises go at 9 AM and have 36 hours, to 9 PM on Saturday. The Hares go at 1 PM and have 30 hours, to 7 PM. Tortoise men over 60 and women over 50 may take an early 7 AM start, but they still have to be home by 9 PM. The organiser gives the course as about 101.5 miles with 20,391 feet up and 20,391 feet down: roughly 8 miles paved, 86 on trail and the rest on rough jeep road.

The first climb goes straight up to the Mt. Werner aid station at about mile 5.3. From there the course drops to Fish Creek Falls (17.6), climbs back to Long Lake (24.2) and Summit Lake (30.0), and reaches Dry Lake (44.4) and Olympian Hall in town at about mile 50.6. Next comes the Emerald Mountain loop, about 12.7 miles, which the organiser expects most runners to cover in the dark, and then the return over Spring Creek and its fifteen bridges, Dry Lake (69.5), Summit Lake (80.3), Long Lake (88.9) and Mt. Werner (95.3). The high point, 10,557 feet, is on the Wyoming Trail.

Family will spend most of the weekend waiting through the long gaps between aid stations, often after dark. On Livebib the runner shares their own broadcast link. It opens in any browser and shows position on the course line, miles covered and a finish estimate that updates through the night. Where the phone loses signal, the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated instead of freezing.
