Free, and always will be. NavRun makes money from race-day planning for runners who want it, never from this.
Ultras change constantly, sometimes the morning of. Always confirm with the race director and the official website before you rely on anything here.

The course
Where it goes
multi-loop · 1 aid station
Every loop is varied trail: rolling, rocky and flat sections, lots of flowy single-track, some double-track, and some gravel and pavement. Gain is described as right around 640 feet per loop. The course is kept secret until race day, and no map or elevation profile is published. October in the mountains can mean sun, rain or snow, so bring warm, waterproof layers.
The race
What this one is
Fall trail runs in Ponderosa State Park above Payette Lake at McCall, Idaho. Runners pick a 50K, 30K or 20K, all made of the same 10k loop, with aid and homemade food after each one. The runs are a fundraiser: registration fees beyond permits and aid go to Ponderosa State Park trails. It is a low-key, low-impact event with hand-made bibs and medals.

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: 29 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.
11% 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.
