This year’s Endpoint would have been a familiar site for IB Veterans, also serving as the Endpoint for the 2006 and 2012 editions of the race. In a reversal of the 2022 race, a total of 332 runners across 85 teams were dropped at various points near the coast, and had to run inland towards Majors Creek, with many teams opting to take the infamous Corn Trail as their ascent of choice.
In perhaps complete upset of the regular IB order, Griffin Hall came out on top this year for the first time! A total of 77 teams finished the race, more than the total number of teams in any previous Inward Bound.
You can relive all of the action on Inward Bound Live, with pre-race coverage on IB-TV! The course maps can be downloaded here.
Photos from on course and a division-by-division analysis will be available soon! Check back here later.
