Don’t miss Idaho’s first real 100k in the spectacular hills surrounding the historic mining town of Silver City, Idaho. On this tremendously diverse and beautiful course, the scenic vistas are unparalleled. On the course, junipers, aspens, wildflowers, evergreens, rock outcroppings, sage, and mine tailings make this run beautiful and unique. A few climbs make the run challenging, but overall the courses are quite runnable, composed of 100% dirt surfaces on doubletrack ATV trails and some 4WD truck roads. The race begins just outside of Silver City (elev. 6430′); 100k runners traverse from a high at Hayden Peak (8400′) to a low near Black Mountain (5300′). Check out the Course page for pictures of the area and course scouting reports. The miners had their turn in these hills…now it’s yours.

Updates
- May 16, 2012 – We have made a slight change to the course, moving the start/finish to a location that will give us more room. All maps and aid station charts have been updated to reflect this change. The second and third 100k cutoffs were extended by 30 minutes each to accommodate for the slight increase in distance at the beginning of the run.
- April 13, 2012 – Maps and aid station charts for all races updated on respective race pages. Please note that each race is being capped at 50 runners *per race.* If one race does not fill up, we will not roll those spots over to another race. A minor change was made to the 100k aid station #3 and its cutoff, so make sure you are aware of that if you downloaded the aid station chart prior to today.
