I Since none of the night parts are wooded or forested, I don't find the Headlands creepy at night at all. Did you guys? I would describe the experience of Headlands at night as being Ethereal. The low fog just above your head is definately from heaven. |

I hope signing up so quickly isn't a sign of my rash foolishness!
I may ask my 21 year old daughter to pace for me on the last part of Headlands. What are the procedures for that, and where are the appropriate aid stations to start at? She probably would only do around 20 miles or less. Thanks!

You may have a pacer join you at any aid station beginning at the 50 mile mark (which is at the start/finish).
If she wanted to join you for 25 miles, she could do your whole last loop with you.
Or she could do the last loop minus the section from Tennessee Valley to Muir Beach and back (~15 miles for her), but the TV-MB-TV section is one of the prettiest on the course.
What many people did was have their pacer pick them up at TV on their last time outbound to Muir Beach (mile 87) and go from there to the finish - 'only' 13 miles, but some of the most beautiful and then the pacer is with the runner at the finish line.

Thanks for the information! I will let my daughter know the options open to her.

Another option is to pick up at the first aid station after leaving Rodeo Beach (probably called Rodeo Valley). It's about 1.5 miles up the road from Rodeo Beach, but would only be about 17 miles to the finish, although I believe Wendell will be tweaking the course slightly. |

basic question, though one i can't seem to find the answer to.
This looks like a loop course. how many loops/repeatable terrain on the 100 course?
thanks

I never got around to writing up a race volunteer report for HH, but one thing that I was going to mention was that I had never heard so many guys use the word "gorgeous" in one day, like ever!  I agree with Chris that many of the runners seemed to be having fun at HH and I was there all night as well. Especially some unnamed first time 100 miler runner (think bees...) that had a little too much Red Bull at 3 in the morning. Omg! |
