Countdown
May
The full 100 miles of gravel with donut stops along the way. Flat enough (638 m over 165 km) that the real challenge is the distance and feeding yourself.
Key facts
01Self-supported: no aid beyond the donut checkpoints
02About 55 miles between the second and third donut checkpoints, so carry enough food and water
