Course DNA
The Course
Bradshaw Brute 100 runs 100 mi through Black Canyon City to Prescott, Arizona. +29,226 ft gain and -25,968 ft loss. Surfaces skew 49% trail / 50% jeep / 1% paved. Lane Mountain and Mount Union. High point near 7,865 ft. Low near 1,878 ft. May temps run 35°F to 95°F. The course rewards patience early and punishes rushed descents after mile 50.
The Work
Train for 29,226 feet of climbing across 100 mi. Back-to-back long runs on trail. Practice power-hiking grades above 15 percent. 38 hours total means limited margin: rehearse fueling every 45 to 60 minutes and downhill eccentric work weekly. Technicality 9/10. Build a block that simulates the crux near mile 65.
Kit
May in Black Canyon City to Prescott, Arizona: plan for 35°F to 95°F. Mandatory shell if rain is in forecast. Headlamp with spare batteries if 38 hours pushes past dark. Poles help on sustained climbs above mile 25. Vest capacity for 2 liters minimum. Shoes matched to 49% trail: lugs for mud, rock plate if the course turns technical after mile 50.
Race Day
Hold effort through mile 25. The field often splits on the first big climb after mile 50. Lane Mountain and Mount Union near mile 65 is where time is won or lost. Walk the steep pinches. Run the flats and gentle downhills. Crew at major aids: socks, calories, ice if hot. Transitions under 5 minutes when possible. Final third is 33 miles of fatigue management. Finish with reserve for the last descent.
