Hardrock Lottery Numbers for 2024

Hardrock Lottery is the same day as Western States‘. Why? No idea.

Preliminary numbers (as of 11/20) show 2,801 people are hoping to get one of the 146 entries.

These numbers are just crazy and give lots of ammunition to the folks (UTMB and et al.) who believe that our growing sport can handle more races in more places. And even the ‘die hards’, who love these historic races and see their changes to ever getting picked in the lottery decrease every year should be happy with more races drawing attention away from the few that are way way way overbooked.
