Markleeville, California · USRoad103.1 mi↗ 14,304 ft+2Status unknown

Starting at 5 a.m. from Turtle Rock Park north of Markleeville, the Death Ride loops over Monitor Pass, Ebbetts Pass and Pacific Grade from both sides before turning around at Lake Alpine, adding up to about 166 km and more than 4,300 m of climbing. Almost the entire route runs on highways closed to traffic during the climbs, with bib stamps collected at each summit to earn finisher status. Shorter self-selected options with fewer passes are available, and strict segment cut-offs keep everyone off the course by early evening.
