Interestingly, the 100mi road record is 11:46:37. I doubt that was done with ~10mi of vertical climb though...

- newmanships 10y agoI don't know the elevation gain on that run, but the 100mile track record is 11:28:03 so I would guess not much gain on the road record :) Interestingly the women's track record is slower than the road record. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-fastest-time-anyone-has-run-a-100-mile-foot-race https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-fastest-time-anyone-has-ru...

- outericky 10y agoBut this isn't 100 miles of a course (in fact it's likely more). It's also not a course. You need to figure out how to get to the checkpoints over obstacles, through brush, night and day. You also need to do it alternating clockwise/counter clockwise, except the last lap... it's a far cry from a flat, supported 100 miler.
- pdelbarba 10y agoYea, it's more of an orienteering ultramarathon
