Wulfman's CDT Race
* A point-to-point 14K race on
the new
Continental Divide Trail
(CDT) between Homestake Pass and Pipestone pass.
The race will run from Homestake to Pipestone
in even years and in reverse direction in odd years.
You may consider this trail gentle if you are used to the rugged back
woods. The trail provides good footing in most places, and the correct path will
be clearly marked for the race. See trail
photos
taken at each kilometer . You may also
find the
Wulfman's tips useful for
running this
route.
* Here is what one runner
had to say about Wulfman's inaugural 2008
CDT-14K.
* The trail
is too narrow for a mass start, so seeded
time-trial starting/timing format
will be used, with
starting assignments beginning at 8 a.m, and with runners starting every 10 seconds,
thereafter. Your race number will coincide with your assigned start time. For
example, if you have the race number "8:12:30," your running time will start
rolling at precisely 30 seconds after 8:12 a.m, whether or not you are
physically in the starting chute at that time.
* Under normal late June
conditions, the route takes
about an hour to race swiftly like the deer, and it takes
about 3 hours to walk at a brisk pace.
* There will be one aid station
near the half-way mark, but you will likely need to carry more of your own food,
beverages, first aid, etc.
* There will be a "sweeper" who
walks the course after the last participant to help ensure that all participants make it from start to
finish.
* Unique prizes and possible cash
awards to top 3 overall finishers, and to the top 3 in each age division (13
& under, 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 & over).
*
Entry Form posted here!
