Who's going to Hitchcock Experience Endurance Runs?
Free. You can start with nothing.
Free, and always will be. NavRun makes money from race-day planning for runners who want it, never from this.

- Crew rules
-
Crew access at the Lodge (start/finish) and Black Diamond only. No crew access at the Oasis or anywhere else on the course. Caught crewing elsewhere may mean disqualification or a time penalty. Limited exception at the campground: runners stay on the course, no going to vehicles or campsites, no picking up pacers; handing things to the runner is fine.
drive.google.com
- Pacer rules
-
Single pacer at a time from the Black Diamond aid station in the middle of the 3rd lap (52.5M completed). Starting with the 4th lap, pickup at the start/finish or Black Diamond. Pacers must arrive with their runner at aid stations and may eat and drink there.

- Drop bag rules
-
The Lodge is the only drop bag location. Bags are kept outside on the lower level by the aid station in a walled shelter, and are not transported to any other aid station.

Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.

Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
Seen a course preview or a film of this one? Send it over.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
Have the GPX? Send us the link.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
Are you the race director? Get in touch and we'll make it right.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Where this came from.
Every fact on this page records its source and when we last checked it: 70 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.
35% of what we track for a course is filled in. The rest says "not checked yet" rather than guessing.
Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
