The series begins in Boulder-Lyons, Colorado on 17-18 July. It then moves to Madison, Wisconsin on 7-8 August, with the finale on 11-12 September at Mammoth Lakes, California. Registered participants will be seeded by age, with timing chips used to calculate finishing times.

We are going to be participant driven, similar to a triathlon or a marathon. They are the only two that can support themselves by registrant fees.”
