MS2S Course








ms2s course

The first 42km of the Mongolian Sunrise to Sunset (MS2S) 100km is quite spectacular.   Featuring two passes - the Chichee Pass (2300m or 7550ft) and the Khirvesteg Pass (2100m or 7000ft) - the course winds it way along Hovsgol Nuur (Lake Hovsgol) before crossing the two passes.  Unlike most of Mongolia which is grassland or desert, the Lake Hovsgol region in the north is located in coniferous forest - the southern extent of the Siberian taiga. It is relatively lush and very green (and beautiful!)

Above you can see a satellite map of the course.  The course is marked using data obtained from my Garmin Forerunner 305 which I wore during the run.  The dark area on the right is Lake Hovsgol.
