The Bootleg Boogie
The Bootleg Boogie takes place January 30, 2027 in Boulder City, Nevada, at Bootleg Canyon (1000 Yucca St). The event is organized by Capstone Endurance and offers multiple distances on a looped trail course.
Distances
- 100 miles - eight 12.5-mile loops, about 15,000 feet total elevation gain
- 50 miles - four 12.5-mile loops, about 7,500 feet total gain
- Half Marathon - one 12.5-mile loop, about 1,875 feet total gain
The course is a 12.5-mile loop with roughly 1,875 feet of climbing and descent per lap. Terrain is steadily rolling with no extremely long climbs or reckless descents; elevation accumulates gradually and the loop format gives frequent access to aid, crew, and spectators at the centralized start and finish area. An early-start option is available with race director approval.
Aid stations are placed three times per loop at HQ (Mile 0 and 12.5), Caldera (Mile 6.9), and Veterans (Mile 10.8). Stations provide consistent food and hydration including PB&J, ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, snacks, chips, cookies, candies, water, electrolyte drink mix, and electrolyte tablets. Hot food is available after sundown. NSAIDs will not be provided. Drop bags are available at Caldera and HQ.
Pacers are allowed after Mile 37.5 for the 50 and 100 mile races; crews are permitted at HQ only with parking at base camp. Camping is allowed at base camp and nearby starting areas on a first come basis. Packet pickup is at the start/finish area on the day before and the morning of the event.
The 100 mile race has a 30 hour cutoff. A $5,000 guaranteed base purse is offered for the 100 mile, with additional amounts added based on registration counts; prize money is awarded to the top overall male and female finishers. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Races will not be canceled for rain or heat; cancellations for fire, unsafe AQI, or other serious safety concerns may be rescheduled or credited 50% toward a future race.
