I forget what page it was on, but I know for the old course there was a listing of the elevation gain and loss on each segment (aid station to aid station), which I found very helpful when working up predictions for my crew (my wife) for the 50 mile last year. Is that available somewhere (maybe I'm blind) or will it be? Wendell told me on Saturday that he will be doing this. |

The crew driving directions are also back, though it makes me wonder: Apparently there is crew access to Conzelman for the second half of the 100, but it is not on the crew driving directions. Lastly, I noticed that the 50 mile and I think the 75 mile cutoffs have been extended slightly. Thanks! |

The parking at Conzelman is very limited. So crew access is available only during the second half of the 100. Wendell (PCTR) |

I liked the course quite a bit. It wasn't nearly as confusing as I feared, and it was great to be able to see others runners I knew either ahead or behind me around the places where the course reversed. My pacer (who did the whole second 50) said he wants to come back next year and do the whole thing. Thanks!

It was indeed very well marked and not confusing at all! The "yellow" marking made total sense.
Personally, I can live without "washing machine cycles", I'd rather go into the same direction always. Those Bobcat- and Rodeo Valley fire roads tried to break me....
