Is crew access allowed on the 100 Mile Run course?

Yes, crew access is allowed on the 100 Mile Run course. Crews must pick up their crew vehicle card at packet pickup and display it in the crew vehicle at all times while accessing aid stations. A crew driving to a no-crew aid station could result in your disqualification. Runners who accept a ride in a vehicle are considered to have abandoned their race. Once you have checked out of an aid station, you may not re-enter any vehicle. Crews are encouraged to carpool.

Are drop bags allowed on the 100 Mile Run course?

Yes, drop bags are allowed on the 100 Mile Run course. Drop bags are allowed only at the locations marked on the aid station chart. Label with name and bib number. Drop bags are accepted at packet pickup and are not accepted the morning of the race.

Are pacers allowed on the 100 Mile Run course?

Yes, pacers are allowed on the 100 Mile Run course. A pacer may join starting at mile 35.7. Pacers may start with their runner at Fall Creek Aid Station. The pacer's role is to provide moral encouragement and safety on the trail, not to carry gear for the runner. All pacers must register in advance through UltraSignup and pick up their pacer bib at packet pickup. Pacers may only meet their runner at crew-access aid stations.

What is the cutoff time for the 100 Mile Run course?

The course

Where it goes point to point · 14 aid stations · rust marks a stop your crew can reach

Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file. Recorded 2026.

Extremely difficult mountain terrain with long, steep climbs (the 100 has multiple 2-hour climbs) and sections without defined trail. Strong, experienced runners DNF here every year. Cell service is none for the entire course.

The race

What this one is

Standhope is a mountain race in Idaho's Pioneer Mountains, near Ketchum, with a 100 mile, a 60K and a 30K. The courses climb into high alpine basins, with sections that have no established trail, and the route spends significant time above 9,000 feet. The 100 mile crosses the whole Pioneer Range.

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.
