Lone Star 100

The Lone Star 100 is a rugged, unforgiving mountain race located in the Southern most tip of the rocky mountains in El Paso, Texas. The city is a wonderful blend of culture, history and amazing mountains.

This is a true Texas mountain race. All of the races will be located in the Franklin Mountains State Park (Tom Mays Unit off of Transmountain Road). The races will start at around 5,000′ altitude and climb to 7,192′. Most of the trail is low desert with runnable terrain and some easy, technical segments. The climb to the North Franklin Peak is a combination of steep climbing and switchbacks.

The 100 mile race is 3 loops of 33.7 run washer style where you switch directions each loop for a total of 100.2 miles with 20,000 ft of gain and 20,000 ft of descent. The 100k is 2 loops of 32.7 run washer style as well with 14,000 ft of gain and 14,000ft of descent. The 100 Miler will have a 36 hour cutoff and the 100k will have a 35 hour cutoff. The relay teams may only exchange runners at the start/finish area.

And be prepared. It might get chilly out there.
