Why this course
The downhill lie
Black Canyon reads net downhill on paper. The art shows the truth: runnable desert, then Table Mesa, then the kind of rollers that eat calves when the sun is high. Map and unroll share the same official miles.
Golden Ticket geometry
100K. Eleven thousand feet up. Thirteen thousand down. WSER qualifier on a course that punishes anyone who believed the net-downhill story. The plate holds distance, gain, loss, and the true corridor.
Desert light, black frame
Charcoal route on warm paper reads like a survey pulled from a race director's drawer. The black wood frame keeps it sharp in a bright crew tent or a dim office.
