Mountains loom beyond the starting line

14,000 runners filed through the finish chute in 2 days

On the old air strip, runners start and finish at the same time (runner in blue at left is heading for finish chute), as races start as close at 6 minutes apart, putting 3 races on the course at one time

Finish Line Fans cheer their runners
