Over the years, I've coached dozens of runners in their quests to complete the Western States 100, volunteered at the race numerous times, and have 10 finishes of my own. What follows is my course description, divided into four sections and following a Kerouac-esque stream of consciousness.
After cresting the summit, get onto singletrack and for more or less the next seven miles to Lyon Ridge. You roll along a ridgeline that requires you to run some and walk some. My strong advice here is to gently run the flats, aggressively run the downs, and hike the ups.
