Description: The AT100 is regarded as an easy 100, but that's not entirely correct. It's one of the more "finishable" 100's with good marking and plentiful aid stations. It's not an easy course, it is rocky and there are a lot of hills. The course has few miles of pavement (the beginning), some honest-to-goodness hiking trail, a lot of what were called forest service roads but appeared to be abandoned 4WD trails, some smooth gravel roads and plenty of rocks for everybody. Most of the race is quite runnable, especially during the daylight. The race ends in a 1.5 mile downhill so you can push right to the end.
