New This Year
- There is no crew parking on Highway 14. All parking for the Diamond Peaks aid station will be on the Lake Agnes access road adjacent to the aid station. Please follow the cones to cross the highway safely at our staffed crossing points.
- The Canadian aid station has been moved a quarter mile north and will be located at the junction of the Clear Lake Road and the Yurt Trail.
- Night-time markings will be a mix of reflective tape and LED lights.
- Runners finishing the race in under 23 hours will be eligible for the Western States 100 lottery.
- An active and large wildfire (Beaver Creek) is currently burning some 30-35 miles northwest of the northern perimeter of the course. Prevailing winds have been blowing smoke to the north, northeast into Wyoming, but if winds are blowing in a southeasterly direction in the days leading up to the race and on race day, there may be some air quality issues.
- Diamond Aid: all crew parking will be on the Lake Agnes access road adjacent to the aid station. There is absolutely no parking on Hwy 14.
- Ruby Jewel:Â Crew vehicles are permitted to drive a mile up the Ruby Jewel Rd as far as the junction with the Francisco Loop Forest Road (a left turn off Ruby Jewel Rd). Parking will be on the side of Ruby Jewel Rd (below Francisco Rd) or on the side of Francisco Road, but will not be allowed on the Ruby Jewel Road past the Francisco Road. Please park as tightly to the side of the road as possible so all additional park visitor traffic and race vehicles can pass through unimpeded. From the Francisco Road, it is a little less than a mile hike/run up the Ruby Jewel Road to the aid location and crew access point at the Ruby Jewel Yurt. Additional parking space is available at the start of the Ruby Jewel Rd off of the main park road 41. It is just under 2 miles to the aid station from 41.
- Crew vehicles should not enter the Bockman campground (near the Bockman aid station) – especially after dark – unless they have a camp spot. We will have a port-a-john at the aid location. Additionally, there is a public bathroom and water on the main park road by the Michigan Reservoir.
- Dogs with crew must be leashed at all times. Please keep dogs out of the aid stations and out of the runner lanes to avoid interfering with volunteers or tripping runners.
