Please read through the entire guide prior to race day. This will answer various questions on logistics, course conditions, rules and other great ways to spend your time while in Truckee. Do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. The more you know the better prepared you’ll be. Organization Castle Peak 100k is produced by the Donner Party Mountain Runners, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and permitted by USFS, California State Parks, Truckee Donner Land Trust, Tahoe Donner Association, Sugar Bowl Resort, Royal Gorge Cross Country Ski Area, and Cold Stream Adventures. History The Truckee region’s long history of travel and perseverance through challenging terrain and harsh conditions only seemed a suitable location for what has been going “graduate level” ultra running. Peter Fain, Co-Race Director and course designer, spent years working together some of the best trails that the area has to offer while including points of historic significance and at the same time keeping the course continuously flowing forward. Starting near the original camp site of the Donner family and finishing at Donner State Park are important components of the course. We run alongside the historic emigrant trail while running through Coldstream Canyon and we finish only feet from one of the historic trails markers. With great land partners, the race will be here for years to come.

GU Energy Labs and Tailwind donate on-course nutrition. Huge thanks to Chaz Sheya of Canyons Endurance Runs, who supports our race in too many ways to list here. Community This race would not be possible without the overwhelming support of our running community, including every registered runner, pacer, family and crew member. We are grateful for the support of the member of the Donner Party Mountain Runners and its Board of Directors, as well as our partner clubs: Silver State Striders Tahoe Mountain Milers Steven's Creek Striders CASTLE PEAK 100K RUNNERS GUIDE !6 Race Rules • Qualification :: Completion of a trail race of at least 50 miles and 7,000′ of climbing. The qualifying race must be run after January 1, 2016 and prior to registration for the 2017 Castle Peak 100k. • Pacers :: One pacer per runner will be allowed from the Van Norden Aid Station (about mile 44) into the finish. All pacers must sign a waiver and wear a pacer bib. • Cut-offs are strictly enforced • Closed course :: You must follow the course markings. No short-cuts or cutting switchbacks. If you go off course, you must return to the location where you went off course and resume from there in order to receive an official finish. • Cold Stream Canyon :: The course passes through private property after the Cold Stream Aid Station (about mile 56). Please be sensitive to our neighbors and remember: absolutely no littering and no combustible materials. • No Dogs / Pets :: No pets on course. If you must bring dogs to an aid station, they need to be leashed. Leashes are always required at Donner Memorial State Park, including the entire finish line area. • Poles are allowed :: However, you may want to stow them at Van Norden (mile 44) so that your hands are free for The Palisades. • Verbal check-in at each aid station required • Headphones are strongly discouraged • Carry the required gear • Be kind & have fun • Absolutely no littering CASTLE PEAK 100K RUNNERS GUIDE !7 Updates for 2017 Race Morning Check-in & Drop Bags There is a mandatory race-morning quick check-in for ALL RUNNERS, even if you have already picked up your bib. Also, we are happy to accept drop bags and finish bags at the start line this year. Please have them prepared with location name and your bib number. Your bib will be pre-assigned and viewable on UltraSignup by Thursday. Castle Pass Aid Station The Castle Pass aid station has been moved to the parking area below the saddle of the previous years. This adds a small descent and climb out for all runners. You must go to the aid station and verbally check-in. You cannot bypass and continue into Hole in the Ground. Rest assured that course markings will guide you. Cut-Off Times Please review the cut-off times in this manual. The Castle Pass cut-off time has been removed. Johnson Canyon and Van Norden cut-offs remain and will be strictly enforced. Crew Driving Road maintenance on I-80 will slightly impact your crew and spectator’s access to the aid stations. Easy detours are in place; have them review the driving directions in this manual. Finish Line The finish line within Donner Memorial State Park is moved back away from the campground, which means you’ll see the arch about 400 yards sooner! See detailed map in this manual. CASTLE PEAK 100K RUNNERS GUIDE !8 Safety Medical We will have medical personnel to assist with normal minor injuries and running-related ailments. If serious medical attention is required we will contact the fire department for paramedic support. Volunteer medics will be present at: Johnson Canyon, Devils Oven, Castle Pass, Van Norden, The Palisades, and the finish line. Van Norden (Mile 43.6) and the finish line will have more extensive support. Seek medical attention at these locations if needed. Dropping from the Race (DNF-ing) If you drop from the race, you MUST notify the aid station captain and be marked as leaving the course. Safe drop points from the course are: • A4 / Johnson Canyon / Mile 20.6 • A9 / Van Norden / Mile 43.6 If at all possible, we ask that you avoid dropping from the race at a remote aid station. Most remote aid stations will require you to hike out under your own power. It is very difficult and time consuming for race staff to retrieve you from a remote aid station and should be reserved for emergencies only. Getting Lost The course is marked at the minimum every 1/2 mile with either a orange Castle Peak 100k logo’d flag or an orange ribbon on a clothes pin. If you've gone in excess of one mile without seeing one, you should back track to the last marker you saw. Note: if colorblind, know what the marking ribbons look like so you don't confuse markers without some other markings that may exist in the woods. You may also ask the race team for a sample marking to carry with you for comparison. It is important to consider carrying a cell phone so we can track you down if you continue off course. Most of the course has cell service.

    STAFF REPORT 69 A 56 10/24/19 AD 671 W 503.2094 S 28 W. Crunk CONSIDER BOUNDARY LINE AND EASEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE STATE, ACTING BY AND THROUGH THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION AND CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS AT DONNER LAKE PARTIES: State of California, acting by and through the State Lands Commission All those property owners along the shore of Donner Lake listed in Exhibit A, attached (collectively known as the “Property Owners”) INTRODUCTION: In November 2016, a group of Donner Lake property owners filed suit against the Commission through a recently formed corporation known as SOS Donner Lake. The Nevada County Superior Court case, SOS Donner v. California State Lands Commission, challenged the Commission’s jurisdiction over Donner Lake and the boundary between State-owned sovereign land and the privately owned uplands. The proposed Boundary Line and Easement Agreements (Agreements) will settle this litigation, settle the underlying boundary disputes, and bring finality and certainty to an area that has been in contention since the 1970s. The proposed Agreements will fix the elevation of the low-water mark that serves as the boundary between State-owned fee land in the bed of Donner Lake and the privately owned adjoining uplands. The Agreements will also fix the elevation of the high-water mark that delineates the landward extent of the Public Trust easement. The upland owners will also acknowledge the navigability of Donner Lake, thus confirming the State’s ownership of the lakebed. To effectuate the Agreements, the Commission and Property Owners will mutually grant quitclaim deeds that will confirm the parties’ respective ownership.
