What you should know
- UTMB mandatory gear checks are enforced at bib pickup and randomly on course; missing items mean disqualification.
- Start elevation is ~2250m at Divisadero with steep technical descents into the canyon and brutal climbs back out.
- Cutoffs on the 100M/100K are strict; study timing barriers per aid station and plan drop-bag contents accordingly.
- Daytime is mild but canyon nights drop sharply — carry warm layers even on shorter distances finishing after dark.
- Cell coverage is minimal in the barrancas; follow markings and respect Rarámuri community land along the route.
