This was Beast of Big Creek 2026!
Watch the recap video of the return of skyrunning to the USA and North America's only stop on the Skyrunner World Series.

Byron Powell previews the upcoming race for iRunFar:

The 2024 Hardrock 100 kicks off on Friday, July 12, with the 146 lucky runners having 48 hours to complete the mountainous loop through Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.

It’s fascinating to me that Hardrock, hosted in such a remote and logistically challenging location, with such a small field of runners, is such a desirable race, not sure for Americans, but for Europeans alike. In fact, looking at the elite entry list it feels almost as if the race is more popular among European elites.
