This route is subject to final adjustments post-monsoon but will be between 39.75 and 41K long. It is massively downhill, from around 6,000 feet to just over 3,000 (but still has Rocky Gap Rd to contend with).

Note: Ultra X Nevada is a self-supported event and an exercise in nutrition and planning as well as endurance. 40K Aid stations will have water and top-notch medical support: no other on-course amenities are guaranteed.
