SALOMON
Salomon is the official footwear sponsor of the 24 Hrs of Frisco and we are proud to be associated with the best. Their lightweight, protective and speed oriented shoes are designed to address the performance needs of trail runners. All participants will be eligible for great SALOMON give-aways! And as an added bonus, SALOMON will provide a pair of their trail running shoes to ALL 1st PLACE TEAMS & SOLO’S (6 hr & 24 hr)! Go from muddy single track to boulder fields to city streets thanks to SALOMON’s ground breaking, knee saving SCS cushioning system! Visit the Runners Roost locations at Colorado Blvd (Denver) and Lakewood to try a pair of SALOMON’s lightweight trail runners.
SALOMON Trail Pro 2
The Salomon Trail Pro 2 is a light and fast running shoe that flies through everything from muddy single track to boulder fields to city streets thanks to Salomon\'s ground breaking, knee-saving SCS cushioning system.
COURSE
Course starts and finishes at the Frisco Nordic Center. The loop is approximately 6 miles long. The last .4 of a mile is on pavement to provide a safe finish to the loop during the night hours. Start/finish is 9100 ft with a high point of 9500 ft. The S/F is on the North side of the Nordic Building and camping will be allowed south of the finish area-this will be obvious upon your arrival. It is the responsibility of each team member to know the course. The course will be marked with SALOMON caution tape and will have over 250 glow sticks placed for night running. If you don’t see the glow sticks at night, it means you are not on the course. Since it is a combination of nordic trails and existing single track, the map gives an approximation of the course using the nordic trails as marked during the winter and existing summer trails (please see map). We encourage teams and solo\'s to visit Frisco and run the area often to familiarize your self. PLEASE NOTE-due to pine beetle kill and subsequent removal of dead tree’s, the event reserves the right to change or alter the existing course.
CAMPING & LODGING
Teams will be able to set-up camp adjacent to the Nordic Center or by car/truck/RV in the parking area, Saturday morning beginning at 8 am. No open fires are allowed at the site. The Nordic Center building is open throughout the event with water, hot coffee, hot water (for tea and chocolate), hot soup (late night), and restrooms. For information on local lodging properties, please contact the Town of Frisco at 800 424-1554.
TIMING & RESULTS
Teams will be provided with “timing cardsâ€. At the conclusion of each lap, the racer must swipe their card at the timing area to record their time. It is the solo/teams responsibility to make sure this is completed after each lap. The computer will be available to the participants to insure their time is recorded and to better update the teams and solo’s on their progress. Each team/solo will receive 2 cards in order to alleviate the need to hand off.
Finish Order is determined by number of laps, then time. In order to qualify for awards, Teams must complete their race within the allotted time frame. Teams may complete their race within 59.59 minutes prior to the \"official\" finish hour or within 59.59 minutes after (this is “clock†time, not the time of day since the event may not start on the same time as everyone’s watch). Teams may choose to send another runner out and continue, or officially finish the race prior to the \"official\" finish hour. If another runner is sent out, that runner must finish their lap before one hour expires after the official finishing hour or that lap does not count towards the teams\' total. If final placing has already been established, we will request that another runner not enter the course in order to provide awards for the team. A runner can stop anywhere on the course and wait until the hour preceding the official finishing hour begins and then cross the finish line. No laps may start after the official finishing hour. Teams may choose to stop and rest at anytime during the event but must re-enter where they originally exited. The team (in its category) with the most laps is first. If teams have the same number of laps, the team that took less time within the above guidelines, wins.
SOLO COMPETITORS-Solo’s may complete their race at any time during the 6/24 Hrs and will be credited with laps run to that point to determine placing. Solo’s do not have to finish within the above time constraints but must run at least 4 laps to qualify for awards (with the exception of completing your final lap prior to the cut-off time in order for it to count). ALL SOLO’S-when you choose to finish your race, you must turn in your timing cards and inform the timing crew that your are not taking another lap. This is important, as we do not want to send out our Search & Rescue Crew needlessly-thank you in advance!!!
Minimum Age Requirement: All participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the waiver. Additionally, all participants under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present on site for the duration of the event. Participants must be a minimum of 16 years of age.
