70 Mile Application
The course is divided into five sections, with checkpoints at the end of each section. The fifth checkpoint being the finish. There will be strict cut-off times at each of the checkpoints. The time limit for the entire race is twenty-two hours. The official checkpoints and cut-off times are listed below.
The hiking trail has now been permanently routed around Lake Tahoe in the Seven Springs Resort area. In addition to the yellow blazes, there are light blue signs that mark the route. You will run part way around Lake Tahoe, turn right near a ski lift and follow the snow makers down the hill. There are blue signs with arrows mounted on the snow makers, along with the yellow blazes near ground level. After following the snowmakers for a few hundred yards, the course will re-enter the woods on your left. There is a large sign there and the yellow blazes are in place.
