Well, today, a bunch of crazy trail runners will embark on the Hard Rock 100 mile race.
Here’s a synopsis of the mountains that they’ll traverse on the course:
Silverton – Sherman (Lake City) – Ouray – Telluride – Ophir – Silverton, 100 miles, 33,000′ total elevation gain, 11,186′ average elevation, low point 7,680′ at Ouray, high point 14,048′ at Handies Peak.
More information on the race is here at the race website.
My friend Brownie ran this race last year, and he’s running it again this year. Good luck to all the starters!
