The 2017 50K Ultra and 30K will be run Sunday, December 3, 2017 Starting at Cerro Coso Community College. The race starts at 7:00 a. m., and there will be an early start at 6:00 a. m. for those those who feel that they may have a problem with finishing in at least 9 hours (no awards for early starters).The 30K runners start with the 50K runners and get the same amount of time to finish as the 50K runners.
The course will be marked with chalk and ribbon. Please be aware that you will be running through BLM land and should respect the rights of hikers, Mtn. bikers, equestrians and other runners you might encounter.
There will be nine aid stations on the course, with crew access at aid station 5, Wagon Wheel Crossing (16.9 miles). A 2:30 cut off time will be enforced at aid station 8, Gracie's Mansioin. Aid stations will be stocked with water, electrolyte drink, cola, cookies, bananas, pretzels, Vaseline, S-caps. There will be no Ibuprofen at the aid stations, bring your own if you want it. Drinks will also be provided at the finish. If you must drop out of the race for any reason, you must go to the next aid station and notify a race staff member at the aid station.
We are counting on good weather (cool to cold) but Mother Nature can bring in warm weather in the month of December. Be sure to carry at least one water bottle.
Again this year we are happy to say, we will be the last stop on the Southern California UltraRunner’s Grand Prix Series schedule for 2017.
Participants will receive a T-shirt and all finishers, a finisher’s medal. We will make every effort to ensure you can pick up your T-Shirt at packet pickup, as long as we have RECEIVED your paid entry by November 13, 2017.
Race results will be posted on the OTHTC website, at www.othtc.com/ultra as soon as possible after the event. Results will also be submitted to the Ultra List and Ultra Running Magazine.
HOPE TO SEE YOU HERE.
