For the fifth year, we have made all of our races that we can be UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) qualifiers. This involves having the ITRA (International Trail Running Association) evaluate each course and UTMB determining a point value based on that evaluation. Each of the UTMB races has a number of points you have to […]
Lotteries can make it hard to plan races with friends. What if you get in and they don’t? Our solution to this is our Friend Refund. We’ve offered this for both the Mt Hood 50-mile and Mountain Lakes 100 ever since they went to lottery. Our Friend Refund gives you an out if you had […]
