Standhope 100
The Standhope 100 is a 100 mile trail endurance run in Idaho scheduled for 25 to 26 July 2026. The course crosses remote backcountry in the Pioneer Mountains and includes more than 23,000 feet of elevation gain. Runners will encounter steep climbs, technical descents, and extended sections at altitude with long stretches between aid stations.
Organizers list 12 fully stocked aid stations along the route, staffed by volunteers and supported with medical personnel and live communication. Spot trackers are provided for all 100 mile entrants so progress can be followed online. The course is marked and supported by experienced staff, but some sections have no cell service and limited access for drop or evacuation.
There is no qualifying requirement for 2026; however the event notes that many runners do not finish even with strong preparation. Required gear includes sun protection, water, food, a windproof and waterproof jacket, a warm layer, a headlamp with spare power, a course map or GPX file, and a personal cup. Organizers provide documents such as a pacer guide, an interactive race map, an aid station chart, and a Garmin file.
Finishers receive a Standhope belt buckle and a finisher shirt. Due to remoteness, drop bags are handled carefully and may need to be carried into some aid stations; drop bags are not accepted on race morning. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
