Western States 100
The world's oldest 100-mile trail race: 100.2 miles point-to-point from Olympic Valley to Auburn, California. Net-downhill (~5,500m up / ~7,000m down) through Sierra high country and 40°C+ Gold Country canyons. 30-hour cutoff; sub-24h earns the silver buckle. A running event — heat tolerance and descent durability decide it, not FTP.
