30 hour cut-off


Fast, flat course with lots of aid stations.  The course is run on the trails around the beautiful Boulder Reservoir.  It consists of 7.14 mile laps and runners will be given 30 hours to complete the course.  All runners who do not complete the course in the allotted time will automatically be entered into the 24 Hours of Boulder...the Run, solo category and will be given an official distance.  It is a fast course with approximately 1,400 feet of gain and loss with a mix of pavement, dirt roads and non-technical singletrack.  With aid stations every 3.5 miles runners will enjoy Hammer Gel products and sports drink out on the course and a great mix of foods and drink at the Base Camp aid station, including pasta and hot soup at night.   It will be run simultaneously with the 24 Hours of Boulder so there will be a lot of aid, great support and lots of energy.
