 | | Strategy, strength, stamina and mental toughness will be tested more than ever before as racers face the challenge alone, plummeting down Aspen Mountain for 24 hours non-stop, resting only for the 15-minute gondola ride back to the top. |
 | | On the women's side, six racers will battle it out including both Canadians from last year winning team, Aleisha Cline and Anik Demers, 2000 competitor Asia Jenkins, Aspen local Lindsay Yaw (whose brother Fletcher is also in the race) and two other Canadian women. |
 | | Deemed the "24 Hours of Pain," the event forces racers to struggle not only with the challenges of the mountain, but also with intense fatigue, bitter cold, sleep deprivation, changing weather conditions and a battle to stay acutely alert. |
