Beaverhead 100k

Aid Station Information

• Aid station to aid station data: 100K Data Table

• See the the Google course map links below for aid station locations. 

• Aid stations will be well stocked with typical ultra-running food, water, Gu gels, and Tailwind hydration products.

• We suggest runners understand their hydration needs and plan to carry the required water volume based on distances between aid stations.  In your training keep track of pace, distance, air temperature and water consumption to help you be prepared. It is better to pack around to much water than not have enough.

Packet Pickup & Check In

The packet pick-up will take place from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Friday July 14th at the Salmon City Park (On Hwy 28 south of Salmon next to the softball fields and gold course).   A pre-race meeting will take place at 6:00 PM following packet pick-up at the same location. For those who cannot make it to the packet pick-up in Salmon, you can pick up your packet at the finish line.

Bib Rules

You will receive your race bib the packet pickup.  It is to be worn on the front of you body and must be clearly visible al all times.

All runners must check in at the starting line.

All runners who do not will be disqualified. Allow yourself at least 30 minutes to check in before the race starts.

Drop Bags

Drop bag service will be available for the 100K runners at Lemhi Pass AS and finish line. Drop bags can be dropped off at the pre-race check-in/meeting or at the start lines on race morning.

Pacers

This is a no pacer race. This is not big deal though, think of it this way: At most 100 mile events, you would not be picking up a pacer until around mile 60; by the time you reach mile 60 in this race you are almost done.

Cutoffs (3)

1. Cutout AS (mile 38) @ 2:30 PM (10 hrs 30 mins); 2. Goldstone AS (mile 46) @ 5:30PM (13 hrs 30 mins); 3. Janke Lake AS (mile 50.5) @ 7:30 PM (15 hrs 30 mins). Runners must check out of these aid stations before the cutoff time or they will be pulled from the course and taken to the finish line with the aid station personnel. The cutoffs are for the safety of the runners and will be strictly enforced.

• A head lamp and/or flash light is recommended for those who will be at the Janke Lake AS at 4PM and later. Picking up a light source in a drop bag or from crew at Lemhi Pass is advisable. There is no finish line cutoff, but runners must check out of the Janke Lake AS by 7:30 PM to finish.

Start and Finish Line Shuttles 

Options:

• Start Line Shuttle – From Stagecoach Inn Parking Lot to Startline at Bannock Pass ($30/person)

• Finish Line Shuttle – From Finish to Stagecoach Inn Parking Lot ($15/person)

• No shuttles provided from finish to start lines. Runners who drive to start lines must arrange to have their vehicles taken to the finish or Salmon.

Specifics:

• Start line shuttle cost ($30/person)

• Finish line shuttle cost ($15/person)

• Shuttle ticket costs are non-refundable. If you drop from the race or no longer need the shuttle we are unable refund the fee. Shuttles are critical to the success of this race and due to limited capacity in Salmon procuring services early in the year is critical, this has a large up front cost.

• Start line shuttle tickets must be registered and paid for by June 15 (paid at registration on RunSignup OR at the store (click here for instructions to buy tickets post registration). No start line shuttle tickets can be purchased after June 15. Finish line shuttle tickets can be purchased up to race day.

• There will not be transportation back to the start locations to pick up vehicles.

• 100K Shuttle Departure Time: 2:15 AM, To get more sleep, we recommend you get one of the few hotel rooms in Leadore or dirt bag camp (no ground fires!) at the start line.

• There will be parking available for runner families and crews at the finish line.

• The distance from the finish line to Salmon is about 10 miles and travel time is approximately 20 minutes.

Crewing

There are some AS’s accessible to crew and family/friends. The access depends on the race you are in. We ask all runners to instruct their crews to follow these rules. It is critical that they do so to maintain our permits. This is so critical that failure to follow the rules will lead to the DQ of the runners who’s crews break them. We do not like to use such language but we have too in order to maintain our race status. In past years this was not as critical, but with our current race numbers we have to enforce them. Here are the Crewing Rules:

• 100K runners can be crewed at Lemhi Pass AS, Warm Springs AS, and Cutout AS. Cutout AS is on a narrow mountain road that cannot handle the traffic load that will occur with 55K runner crews due to its closeness to the start (runners to close together). Because the 100K runners are more spread out and due to its proximity to Warm Springs AS, 100K crews will be able to drive directly to Cutout AS after crewing at Warm Springs AS, crew their runner then leave with traffic being spread out.

• At Lemhi Pass (mile 27), you are allowed to park on the side of the road (pull into grass with one side of wheels), but YOU CANNOT DRIVE whole vehicle INTO THE GRASS/SAGEBRUSH AREA.. THE US Forest Service and BLM will be enforcing this.

• After leaving Warm Springs AS heading north, in a few miles you will see a sign on the side on the edge of Warm Springs Road showing the access road to Cutout AS.

• 100K crew members at Cutout are to pass the AS (can be seen from the road) turn around in the small cutout (on the left side of road 200 ft past AS) and park on the side of the road facing out, far enough off the road to allow others by. As soon as your runner has left the AS, please exit.

• Although the roads are not super technical, a 4WD or AWD is recommended.

• Drive slowly and carefully.

• It is the runners responsibility to inform their crew of these rules.

• To help reduce traffic and manage flow we ask that crews accessing Lemhi Pass via the Idaho side (Hwy ID-28) enter via Agency Creek RD (Hwy ID-28 at Tendoy, ID) and exit via Warm Spring RD (links to Hwy-28 at 17-mile) [see map below]. For crews accessing Lemhi Pass via the Montana side, enter via Lemhi Pass Rd and, if going tho the finish line, use the Warm Springs RD to exit to ID Hwy-28. The Agency Creek Rd, Lemhi Pass Rd, and Warm Springs Rd are mostly gravel and well maintained. Two-wheel drive vehicles can drive these roads. Please obey all speed limits and drive extra slow around Lemhi pass; runners and people will be on the road.
