Rohn in the race
Teams arrive at Rohn after the white-knuckle descent from Rainy Pass. It's a common spot to rest and regroup before the long, often barren, run across the interior burn and the Farewell area.
Mile markers are approximate and shift with the year's route. Rohn sits on the southcentral leg of the 2027 southern route.
