_(Note: Gaia processes the GPX file as ~1,300' of gain. From a variety of different of GPS watches and Strava analysis we believe it to be nearly 1,600')_
Course runs counter-clockwise.
All distances starts at 8:00am and have a 12 hour cut-off (8:00pm).
Cut-off information (updated July 2023):
* For 12km runners, the official cut-off is 8:00pm (12 hours). However, if you do not cross the finish line by 12:00pm (4 hours), we will likely come looking for you to verify your safety. In 2022 (with a slightly shorter course) the slowest time was about 3 hours and 20 minutes.
* For 60km runners, YOU MUST START YOUR FIFTH AND FINAL LOOP BY 5:30PM. We have this cut-off to ensure that runners will not be on course past 8:00pm and to give you enough time (2.5 hours) to complete the final loop. Should a runner not finish by 8:00pm, that runner will be considered a DNF. Additionally, if we are not clear as to your whereabouts, we may begin looking for you to ensure your safety.
* For the above 60km cut-off standards, an average pace of ~19 min/mi is needed to ensure that you finish safely and within time limits. While this sounds almost ridiculously slow, it is a testament to the rugged hills of the Pike Lake area.
