Double the suffering — two complete laps of the 23K loop with 9,000 feet of gain
Other trail races within 60 miles
The Broken Arrow 46K is the 23K course done twice: 28 miles, 9,000 feet of climbing, and two trips up the Stairway to Heaven ladder. Runners pass through the Village at the halfway point, where they can access their drop bag before heading back out for a full second lap of the same spectacular alpine loop. Starting at 7AM, the day stretches across back-to-back technical mountain laps at altitude, all on a 12-hour cutoff. Crew is permitted only at the Village halfway point.
