This year’s race was actually 256.4 miles and wound through desert towns, ranches and wilderness camps over mostly rocky trails, forest service roads and even some sidewalks. There are four major mountains to climb: Lane Mtn, Mingus Mtn, Sedona, and Mt Elden, totaling 40,000 ft of elevation gain.

In the meantime, read about some of our PPTC couples and how they met.
