The whole course sits at 2,400m (8,000ft) and climbs higher. Every effort is in thin air, so Mammoth Tuff is far harder than its numbers admit.
The route
A single-day gravel race on the volcanic pumice and dusty forest roads around Mammoth Lakes, with 2,286m of sustained high-country climbing across the 161km route. The whole course sits above 2,400m, so the altitude, not the gradient, is what caps the effort.
Mid-June, Mammoth Lakes
Highs around 21°C and lows around 5°C, but it has dropped to -6°C. Rain on 6% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
