From the start, you will drive about 3 miles back on Oregon Buttes Road towards Highway 28. The aid station will be located on the left, off the road on the Emigrant Trail. Please park vehicles on the right (east) side of the road and proceed with caution, watching for runners, as you leave.
runthereddesert.comFrom Great Divide, continue towards Highway 28. Turn right (North East) and drive for 5 miles until you reach South Pass City Road. Turn right and take the gravel road for 2.5 miles. The aid station is about 0.25 miles from South Pass City Road. Park on the right side of South Pass City Road to ensure you are not blocking the course. Please do not drive on the campground road to the aid station.

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