Ouch. Well, that's unfortunate. Hope the runners can recover the flight/hotel losses.
"Global warming"
Due to historic snowfall, avalanches, avalanche debris, an inability to reach certain aid stations and uncertain conditions on more than 40% of the course, the 2019 Hardrock Hundred Endurance Run has been canceled.
Good news is, since so few can actually get in the run, few will be affected.

There is no loss going to Silverton in Summer. I am sure you can do a lot there during that time, just not running the full HR course.
Thanks for letting other users know that you are mentally impaired, we'll definitely take it into consideration next time you post.

BS
Xavier Thevenard and his team didn't follow the rules. He had to be DQed.
The bad news is it's cancelled. The good news is you can still go hike 100 miles pretty much anywhere you want. It's not like these "races" are exactly neck and neck.
Xavier won at Mont Blanc & Mt Fuji since then, I bet he’s laughing.

That is more of a LR poster thing, to be happy when things go bad for others.
It’s good news. Hardrock didn’t do Xavier any harm, may have even motivated him! It was a time penalty, at most relegate him to 2nd.
Now Hardrock will know exactly how he feels, as if the whole race was for nothing.
Which is why people are aiming to call it a climate crisis. Because anytime a halfwit likes you sees snow, you deliberate try to ignore the glaring facts that out climate is in crisis

Hardrock got cancelled before. This is not a new thing and it can happen any given year.

That's the most retarded thing I have heard in a while.
The link says the race date was supposed to be July 17. Doesn't canceling 37 days out seem premature?

Snow melts only so fast.
If you can't get to the higher areas, you can't get to the higher areas. They are organizing this race long enough to know what can happen.
https://hardrock100.com/hardrock-snowconditions.phpThe original race was covered breathlessly by a non-finisher who claimed it was a suicide mission. Only to return & finish it the following year, ha ha.

It's not the amount of snow but the damage to trails/area from the avalanches.
