"There’s a reason Hard is in the name": so much went down at the Hardrock 100 Endurance Run we've only just caught our breath – here's everything you missed

The finishing clock of the Hardrock 100 endurance run outside the Silverton High School gymnasium shows the time of Bogie Dumitrescu of Boulder on July 12, 2015, in Silverton, Colorado.

The dust has just about settled on the brutal Hardrock 100 course, which saw nearly 150 runners take on 102 miles of treacherous terrain in Colorado over the weekend, and once again, it was an action-packed race.

The legendary trail running race takes the hardiest runners on a loop of the San Juan mountains, starting and ending in Silverton. The course is highly technical and highly high, with a cumulative vertical gain of 33,197ft (10,118m), a high point of over 14,000ft (4,267m), and an average elevation of about 11,000ft (3,352m).
