A punishing ~14-mile mountain race that summits Grandfather twice: about 4,200 feet of climbing, fixed ropes and ladders up near-vertical rock, and miles of technical singletrack. Six-hour limit, capped at 200 runners. Register through UltraSignup.
Fourteen miles, two summits, four thousand feet of climbing, and a six-hour clock to finish. The ropes and ladders on Grandfather are fixed but unforgiving, the singletrack is technical enough to eat your pace, and two hundred runners is the cap so it stays chaotic instead of becoming a highway. This is not a fun run. Register through UltraSignup if you want to prove something to yourself.
