The first event, a Heavy (H), lasts 24 hours and covers no less than 40 miles . The second event, a Tough (T), lasts 12 hours and covers no less than 20 miles. The third event, a Light (L), lasts 6 hours and covers no less than 10 miles. Participants experience a short break (roughly 3 hours) between each event. Those who complete the event are receive a 3x2 patch for each event as well as the coveted HTL Bolts patch.
