Free. You can start with nothing.
The 100 Mile starts at 5:30 AM at the Lakes Community Center in Lake Hughes. It is a Western States 100 Mile qualifier. You cannot drop down to a shorter distance once the 100 Mile has started; a drop to a lesser distance has to happen before the start, and you then start at that distance's own start time.
Cell service is spotty at best and nonexistent in most areas. Poles are fine; be careful on singletrack.
Leona Divide runs on the Pacific Crest Trail out of the Lakes Community Center in Lake Hughes, California, on singletrack and fire road. The day has five distances, 30K, 50K, 50 Mile, 100K and 100 Mile, with staggered start times. The 100 Mile and 100K are Western States 100 Mile qualifiers.
Keira Henninger took over the historic Leona Divide in 2009. KH Races describes it as its founding event, a 30+ year-old Western States qualifier.

khraces.com2 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
