Hallo an alle.
Ich bin im Sommer mit der Familie in den Staaten. Da mich der Wester State schon seit geraumer Zeit fasziniert und wir im diesen Jahr mit Flo Neuschwander einen local hero am Start haben, konnte ich meine Familie überreden etwas früher zu fahren, damit ich das Rennen besuchen kann.
War jemand schon mal da? Ein paar Tipps und Erfahrungsberichte für die Planung und zur Steigerung der Vorfreude fände ich klasse.
Viele Grüße

wenn, dann würde ich das Teil gerne mal laufen, aber vielleicht helfen dir die FAQs auf der offiziellen Seite (sofern eh nicht schon auswendig gelernt) weiter
[h=3]Where can I go to view the Run as a spectator?[/h]Not all of the Run course is accessible to the general public on Run Weekend. Many of the checkpoints are restricted to Run officials only, due to limited space for parking and to the need to keep the narrow access roads clear for fire and rescue equipment. Members of the press are asked to contact the WS Public Relations office well in advance by Email.
You can, however, see a lot of the Run (and related activities) first hand:
Also, do not provide food, beverages or other assistance to runners outside the main checkpoint areas. Doing so may risk their being disqualified.

You can, however, see a lot of the Run (and related activities) first hand:
- Squaw Valley Start: On the Friday of Run Weekend, you can observe the check-in process and listen in on the runner briefings. You can also watch the Race start at 5:00 AM on Saturday morning, although it is still quite dark at that hour.
- Robinson Flat Checkpoint: The front runners start to arrive at about 9:30 AM, Saturday, and continue coming through until the 1:50 PM cutoff time. Note that Robinson can only be reached via the Foresthill Divide Road out of Foresthill. Allow about an hour for the trip as the road, although paved, is narrow and steep in places. Parking is very limited at Robinson: you will need to park about a mile short of Robinson Flat at Sailor Bar and take a shuttle bus to the aid station.
- Foresthill Checkpoint:The front runners start to arrive as early as 2:30 PM, depending on trail/weather conditions. There is plenty of parking available in town and lots of places to view the runners. They will enter the checkpoint area in front of the school just north of downtown and proceed along the main street before rejoining the trail at the south end of town. The latest time for runners to reach Foresthill is about midnight.
- No Hands Bridge Checkpoint:This checkpoint is open to the public. Park beside the roadway, just past the Highway 49 bridge at the North Fork/Middle Fork Confluence. Walk in via the graded dirt access road, about 50 yards. The front runners may arrive as early as 7:30 PM. 30-hour runners need to cross No Hands no later than about 10:00 AM, Sunday morning.Note: Due to the lack of safe parking, general spectators are
discouraged at the Hwy 49 checkpoint near Cool, CA. - Placer HS Stadium Finish:The first runner may arrive as early as 8:00 PM. 24-hour runners must arrive by 5:00 AM, Sunday morning; 30-hour runners by 11:00 AM. Runner progress information is available from volunteers with laptops near the finish line, and runners are identified by the announcer as they enter the stadium for their “home stretch.”
Also, do not provide food, beverages or other assistance to runners outside the main checkpoint areas. Doing so may risk their being disqualified.
