Canyons 100K for Shavi - April 29, 2017 -15:44 hours

One of the hardest race ever - a Western States 100 miler qualifier - Great timing this year for Shavi. He put in his best this year, training for Western States. This is the longest distance run before the 100 mile race coming up in June. To qualify for Western States, this race needs to be completed in under 18 hours. A real tough course and the heat in the canyons makes this race hard.

This race is one of the best organized races. The race directors do a great job in organizing the race. Shavi has always run this race without help of any crew (or me) and has drop bags ready for himself at the aid stations. The race swag is very cool too. Shavi thinks that the first part of the course is harder than the second part. Foresthill is where the race starts and it is the mid-point of the race as well. Foresthill - swinging bridge - Foresthill - Rucky Chucky - Foresthill. The race doesn't allow pacers if you are running it as a qualifier for WS100. There are multiple distance races in the Canyons Endurance runs: 100K, 50K and 25K.
