Details
Description : This involves a 8 mile (round-trip) hike up to the top of Kyhv Peak with a hiking backpack with gear. It is strenuous simply getting up to the aid station. Once on-top it will likely be extremely cold, so bring a second set of dry warm clothing to change into on the summit. Each shift allows for 1 hour 45 minutes travel time to the summit, four hours on the summit and then 1.5 hour return hike. We will have a large expedition tent with a heater for night time hours, but volunteers will be expected to come prepared and ready to take care of themselves for at least 6 hrs. Volunteers will be expected to have clothing similar to what they would bring on a mountaineering expedition (warm boots, insulative pants, warm coat with full hood, gloves, etc.) Volunteers may be asked to carry 1-2 gallons of water in addition to any other supplies they might need. Volunteers will use the iPad or own phone to check in runners when they reach the summit.
The race will provide -20 degree sleeping bags, sleeping pads, a heater and a small camp stove."
