Members: Testing a possible new CK100 section
✨ THANK YOU CHANNEL MEMBERS! ✨ I wanted to find a different route through the Moulton Cross Country Ski Area for the second-to-last section of the Copper Kings 100. After spending hours reconning around the Moulton trails and connecting various areas, I set out to run this option in one go. ✨✨ Support these videos and join as a channel member ✨✨ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAbGmxSxIw-JS9RumJkKQhw/join

Copper Kings 100: Our Lady of the Rockies to Nez Perce
On June 26 2024, two days before the 2024 Copper Kings 100 fat ass, I went for a recon run from Our Lady of the Rockies to the Nez Perce trailhead. I shot a lot of video, and it can keep you company on the treadmill. Most runners will do this section in the dark, so here's a chance to see what it looks like back there. 00:00 - Start 02:33 - re-joining the CDT after Our Lady of the Rockies 03:28 - About 0.7 miles after Our Lady, the CDT turns right 06:41 - This intersection isn’t on the map, stay left 12:26 - The CDT turns left off the ATV trail 20:20 - 6.8 miles after Our Lady 21:37 - Last filterable creek 37:38 - 9.0 miles after Our Lady, near highest point 41:48 - Last intersection on this section, about 7 miles to the aid station
