I updated the entered runners on the web site as of April 18. I have had some question about the course the main one is , do the photos represent the course. Yes for the most part but there are some short parts that are very rough .For all distances the section between Flowing park and Granby lake aid station has a very steep decent and can be muddy this section gets very little use.  For the 100 milers the Kannh creek section is also very rocky.  Overall the course is very runnable. The way the snow melt is going right now I should be able to get some more photos of the course by mid May.

Early registration ends April 10 . We are finalizing the race itinerary this week and will post it here and on the web site.

I don't have a lot of photos of the course. lost my camera last fall while mapping the course but here are some that I  have. A little more information about the course, most of the course is runnable there are a few sections that are very rough , other than the Kannah creek section they are short.   Most of the course is over 9500' elevation.
