2012 Hardrock 100 Live Coverage
July 12, 2012 by Bryon Powell · 88 Comments
[Update: With the race in the books, I thought I'd link to our 2012 Hardrock 100 results article. However, you can still click on CoverItLive below to get a full play-by-play recap of the 2012 Hardrock 100!]
The 2012 Hardrock 100 begins at 6 am MDT on Friday, July 13, as 140 runners take off from Silverton, Colorado for a journey through the San Juan Mountains. While labeled a “run” rather than a “race,” there’ll no doubt be hot competition for both the men’s and women’s titles, so we’ll be bringing you race updates and commentary from the front of the pack all day … and night… and the next day. As usual, we’ll be livecasting the event on iRunFar’s Twitter feed; however, we’ll also be combining our twitter feed with other news sources in the below CoverItLive window.
Note: Due to Hardrock’s temporal length, we’ll not be hosting a discussion with CoverItLive itself. However, we encourage you to discuss the race at length in the comments section!
Here are a couple resources to help you follow the race:
- The Hardrock 100 website, including course information and past results;
- Runner aid station time updates on Hardrock Live;
- iRunFar’s Hardrock preview;
- Evan Honeyfield’s Voices of Hardrock video series;
- Karl Meltzer’s Hardrock odds; and
- All of iRunFar’s Hardrock 100 articles and resources.
iRunFar’s coverage of the Hardrock 100 is entirely self-funded. Please consider making a donation to help cover our lodging and fuel as well as equipment purchases, rentals, and air time. Purchasing items from the iRunFar Store also supports our race coverage around the world.

The fastest hardrocks including today’s top times:
Kyle Skaggs: 23:23:30
Karl Meltzer: 24:38:02
Hal: 24:50:13
Joe: 25:06:30
Julien Chorier: 25:17:00
Dakota: 25:45:08
Troy Howard: 26:01:18
Wow, Joe was closing FAST: At Pole Creek (mile 80.9) he was 68 minutes behind Hal. At the finish he was only 16 minutes behind. He cut 52 minutes into Hal’s lead in 19.6 miles.
The guy has wheels!
Whats everyone wearing? Looks like a lot of Hokas??
Thanks for great coverage team irunfar!!
Massive rahrahs to the finishers… wow to j basham… bonus miles and a strong finish!!
how much are those tents?
i used your book (signed by you) last year as the main resource in training for my first ultra – it was like having anne sullivan a’top my bedside table – RFP helped me get away with murder jumping into running for the first time ever as a 40 year old turd.
then it hit me after western states and hardrock that i’ve come to take your work and coverage for granted, so i finally kicked in (chump change) a donation.
your site and coverage inject fun and inspiration into my little world.
thanks, man
