100-Mile Endurance Horse Race

The 100-Mile Endurance Horse Race consists of three loops (51, 25 and 24 miles), each returning to base camp in Virginia City. Virginia City 100 is the final ride of the Triple Crown Challenge.

The trail covers hardpack and rocky terrain on historical wagon (now jeep) roads with some sandy single track footing and several mountain climbs. There is also pavement through town and across highways.

Elevations range between 5000 and 7800 feet. Each loop is marked with a different color of ribbon, along with chalk and glow sticks (after dark).

The 100-Mile Endurance Horse Race starts in front of the Delta Saloon at 5 a.m., Saturday.
