The Hardrock 100, renowned as one of North America's toughest 100-mile races, takes place in the San Juan Mountains with a strict participant limit. With only 146 spots available, the event is highly sought after by runners globally. Competitively, the event's atmosphere has intensified since its inception, though its core values and community spirit remain unchanged. Personal experiences from past races, including finishing fifth in 2009 and participating again in 2016, highlight the ongoing passion and competitive nature of the event while preserving its traditional essence.
The Hardrock 100 is one of the most challenging 100-mile runs in North America, featuring a limited participant field and great worldwide interest from ultra-runners.
I ran Hardrock twice, achieving a competitive fifth place in 2009, and reflecting on the experience, the core values and community remain strong despite its growing popularity.
