The 2016 Hardrock 100 starts in downtown Silverton, Colorado at 6 a.m. MDT on Friday, July 15th. From there, 152 runners will have 48 hours to traverse the 100 miles and 33,000′ of gain in a clockwise-loop back to Silverton, where they’ll kiss the rock to stop the clock. For such a small race, the front of both the women’s and men’s fields is stacked with international talent.
We’ll be livecasting the event on iRunFar’s Twitter feed. We’ll also be combining our Twitter feed with other possible news sources and encouraging all of you to join the discussion in the CoverItLive window below. We also have a full news stream without comments for those who prefer a clean interface.

Thanks for the great coverage…..I’m here in Ohio watching my son run in Co. What a great world we live in. Now if you can find my grandson and take a picture for me, I would be so greatfull. Gods speed to all the runners!
Hey what´s up guys! Bryon an Megan haven´t finished yet and there´s nobody to moderate? Come on!
Manuel, if moderation is closed, you can obviously leave a comment sharing your thought here.
As for closing moderation, we’d already lined up volunteer moderators for more than 30 hours of race coverage. At some point, that means calling it a day. That happened to be before either Meghan or I finished.
Hi Bryon,
all good – it just was to exciting! :-)
It was like turning of the TV before the end.
But of course I absolutely understand!
More than 30 hours moderating is amazing. THANKS GUYS!
And congratulations to your great race Bryon!!!
It´s rally a gift what you are doing here!
Cheers,
Manuel

Why Kilian didn’t attend the graduation ceremony?
Because he had to catch a flight back to Europe.
