FAQ

Directing a race is a complicated process. This is our explanation of how we're running the TMR.

Q. Where are the aid stations?
A. Please see the AID STATION tab for aid station locations, parking etc...

Q. Are headphones allowed?
A. Sure

Q. Will cups be provided?
A. No, sorry. We want the Forest Service and Mother Nature to love us. Without cups, we are eliminating a potential source of litter!

Q. Where is the nearest airport? Can we carpool?
A. Technically, Telluride has an airport, but don't be ridiculous. Montrose (best option), Grand Junction and Durango all have good airports, but the closest major airports are Denver and Salt Lake City.

Q. What is the weather like?
A. This is always a roll of the dice. We still have thunderstorms during the end of August- come prepared. If the weather is dangerously bad, the RD reserves the right to postpone the start or cancel the race to ensure the safety of runners.

Q. Is there an inclement weather course?
A. We may explore options for certain distances but probably not.

Q. Do I need to qualify for this race?
A. Only for the 65-mile race, but you should have a lot experience in this type of running regardless of distance, seriously!

Q. What are the cut-off times?
A. See the Aid Stations tab.
