As Jamil mentioned, I have laid out the course for the 100 miler with the most elevation gain in the world. It is called the UDAM, the Up and Down A Mountain ultra. It will be a loop course, consisting of laps up and down the steepest asphalt section of A mountain above ASU in Tempe, AZ. By my preliminary estimates, it will be 8 loops per mile, or 800 loops total. The elevation gain is projected at %@*# HUGE. Since there is food and medical aid every 1/8 mile, the RD will offer no sympathy for runners.
The preliminary logo is already complete. Coincidentally, this is the only known race to contain a comprehensive and detailed corse map within the logo.
More details to follow.

Will there be an award for fastest lap? Actually there should be two awards: Fastest Lap Without Falling and Fastest Lap Period.
Personally, i'm going for the second one on my first lap, just to make sure I'm good for the rest of the race.
Nick said there will be a 1/8 mile wimp out option.
