Wondering About Desert Runs...

Runners usually cover 20-25 miles per day except for the long day which is 50+ miles. We have to carry all of our supplies, clothing, food and gear for the entire 150 mile week. Runner backpacks usually weight anywhere from 18-35 pounds. For safety reasons, every 6-8 miles you will pass a check point or simply "CP". I attached a picture what one looks like. Sometimes you see them in the far distance and spend hours closing in on them, other times they are hidden on the back side of a hill and pop out on you. Either way they are staffed with the most helpful and incredible volunteers and medical staff that cheer you on all day, and night!!
