Run the rugged trails outside of Laramie, Wyoming in a 100 mile running adventure festival. Located in the Medicine Bow National Forest, the race takes runners on a 5.8 mile loop course across the cool high plains just outside this "old west" college town. Unique granite formations decorate the landscape creating a memorable setting.

The 5.8 mile loop has approximately 725 feet of climbing with all but 100 feet coming in a single 1.6 mile push. Base Camp will be under the stars at 8300' but the run will get as low as 8100' and as high as 8800'. After the 17th lap there will be a 2.5 mile out and back to complete the full 100 miles with just over 13,000 feet of climbing.

Located just 3 hours north of Denver International Airport, the race is easily accessible from many points in the west.
