1)  The race is Saturday July 31, starting at 630am at ENTRY #1 at Snowbird.  This is a different location than last year.  It is a 10-15 minute walk from the Cliff Lodge.  We recommend you drive to the start to make it easier when you finish. 2)  Check-in is at ENTRY #1 at the Creekside building on the deck.  Registration starts at 5am.  Please come early so you have the best selection of Drymax socks to choose from.  3)  There are NO runner bags, only numbers, shirts, socks and a cheerful “Good Luck” from our staff. 4)  It will be hot!  If you plan on running this race WITHOUT a water bottle.  I will deem you “not very smart”.    There are a few sections where you will certainly want a bottle or three. 5)  We will have a brief informational talk at about 615am on the start line.   [...]
