Schedule of Events

9:00 AM - IMTUF 20 Mile

A tough and beautiful 20 mile mountain race. Jughandle Mountain is the towering peak southeast of McCall. Supposedly, it's granite top looks like a jug of whiskey laid over on its side. It is defended by steep and unrelenting cross country slopes and a crown of granite talus fields.

Course: 20 miles with about 5,000' vertical gain. 5,000' vertical loss. Loop course with a short (0.5mi) out and back to the aid station at Boulder Lake Trailhead. The course is different than the McCall Trailrunning Classic 20 miler. It goes up and over Jughandle Mountain and down the talus slope to Louie Lake (same first 12 miles as the 100 miler). Then leave the 100mi course on a shortcut from Louie Lake and half mile out and back to Boulder Lake Aid Station. Then the same final 7+ miles as the 100 miler back through Idaho State Lands and finish at Jug Mountain Ranch.

Cutoff: 6:00 PM- same as for the IMTUF100 Mile. 9 hours is plenty of time for ANYONE to go 20 miles.

Self Sufficiency: We will have one well manned aid station at Boulder Lake and one unmanned water stop earlier in the race in Jug Meadows (approx mile 7). You should pack as if you were on a long training run- plenty of water, food and extra clothing and essentials. It is wild and lonely up there.

Location: Jug Mountain Ranch, McCall, ID in the huge meadow a half mile north of the Clubhouse.
