The 2024 Hardrock 100 begins in downtown Silverton, Colorado, at 6 a.m. U.S. Mountain Daylight Time on Friday, July 12.
From there, 146 runners will have 48 hours to traverse the 102.5 miles and 33,000-plus feet of gain in this year’s clockwise loop back to Silverton, where they’ll kiss the rock to stop the clock. For such a small event, there’ll be some exciting action at the front of the men’s and women’s races.
We’ll be livecasting the event over on iRunFar’s Twitter feed with text and photo reports from all over the course. We’ll also be live blogging the same material as on Twitter below. This article also includes the event’s live video coverage and other resources to follow the event.
