All distances other than the 6k head through Millpond Campground before heading north then west around the Tungsten Hills, where the first aid station is encountered at mile 4. Climbing steadily on four wheel drive roads, the course continues up and around the main north west side of the Tungstens before briefly leveling out as the second aid station, Junction, is neared at mile 9.8. After passing through the aid station, all distances turn right and again head uphill, towards Basin Mountain, Mount Tom, and the Buttermilk aid station at mile 11. The Buttermilk aid station is the turn around for the twenty mile fun run, which turns around here and returns to the Junction aid station. Continuing on new terrain, the course continues mostly downhill, with a few short up hills, to the Highway 168 aid station. Now it’s all down hill, passing through Tungsten City aid station and on to the finish where we’ll have food and drink a plenty.

The route stays on a rough, four wheel drive road and finally heads into a bit of forest as it nears McGee Creek aid station at mile 15. The course continues climbing to the busy Edison aid station at mile 17.4. This is the turn around for 53k racers. 53k racers will reverse the course back to the Junction aid station at mile 25. Continuing on new terrain, the course continues mostly downhill, with a few short up hills, to the Highway 168 aid station.

The course continues climbing to the busy Edison aid station at mile 17.4. This is the turn around for 53k racers. Lucky 50 milers and 100k folks get to now do the famous “Edison Loop”, a counter clockwise, 6 mile or so tour of the high country of the area, with great views to Mt. Tom, Mt. Humphreys, and out over the Owens Valley to the White Mountains. 

After returning to the Edison Aid station at mile 23.4 the route continues over a hill and across highway 168 (not too busy, but be cautious here anyway) and to the Intake 2 aid station at mile 26. One final out and back to the Bishop Creek Aid Station will see you returning to Intake 2 at mile 32. One final climb and descent and you’re back to Edison Aid for the final time, and mile 35. Now it’s a long downhill cruise, likely into the heat of the day, retracing your steps all the way back to the Junction aid station at mile 42.5.

Continuing on new terrain, the course continues mostly downhill, with a few short up hills, to the Highway 168 aid station, and the Tungsten City Aid Station at mile 48.5. You make the famous left turn, continuing on a long, fairly gentle, uphill to the Sage City aid station. You didn’t think this would be an easy 100k, did you? Now you do a 4.6 mile out and back to the turn around, where we’ll have a sticker or hole punch for your bib. One last climb, back up to Sage, and it’s all glorious downhill, pass Tungsten City one last time, and onto the finish, where we’ll have food and drink, hoses for rinsing, and comfortable chairs to rest in. Congrats!
