Race Start
All race distances will have groups of approximately twelve (12) to fifteen (15) runners starting the race at 5-minute intervals. Check-in with the race starter five minutes before your corral is scheduled to begin.
Individual runners and teams will be mixed together at the start for the 100-mile and 50-mile distances.
Starting time/corral placement will be assigned to individual runners when they register, first-come, first-served. ASSIGNMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN THE RACE DIRECTOR'S SOLE DISCRETION WITHIN ONE HOUR OF THE SELECTED TIME. Team Captains will select a preferred time subject to availability and that time will be the team's starting time unless otherwise notified. KEYS100® official times are "net"--i.e., the clock starts when the runner crosses the start line timing mat.
100-mile races staggered starts begin at 5:30 am, after limited elite corrals beginning at 5:15am.
50-mile race staggered starts begin at 9:00 AM
50-kilometer race staggered starts begins at Noon.

100 mile individual and team races: 32 hours to complete the course beginning when the runner crosses the start line timing mat.
50 mile individual and team races: 20 hours to complete the course beginning when the runner crosses the start line timing mat.
50 kilometer race: 12 hours to complete the course beginning when the runner crosses the start line timing mat.
There are no interim cut-off times for the 50-mile and 50-kilometer races.
The following cut-offs will be enforced at each of these timing "stations", no matter the runner's start time. All runners and teams must cross all timing mats before the sites close. Failure to make all cut-offs will be considered "DNF"— "Did Not Finish".
