This year's edition XI features the usual 26.3k metric marathon distance, several orienteering stages and a trail run. We aim at making the course somewhat faster by giving trail options, yet will also include fine technical sections plus the notorious King/Queen of the Mountain section.

Competitors will partake in the traditional Highlander hospitality. Staffed aid stations will dispense food and drink at transition points, and there will be plenty of food at the post-race buffet that is free to all competitors. And, as is tradition, a commemorative prize will be awarded to all official finishers completing the race within the 8-hour time limit.

Finishers in all previous Hudson Highlanders will be guaranteed starting slots in this year's race if their entry is postmarked by October 6, 2006 and received no later than October 9, 2006

Late entries - including those postmarked after October 6, received after October 9, or phoned or e-mailed in just prior to the race - will be accepted only if space is available in the field, and at the organizer's discretion. Any late entrants accepted into the race must pay a $35 entry fee, so don't delay - enter today! Foreign competitors may pay upon arrival.
