1996 British Columbia: Locations along the race included the Lillooet River, Carpenter Lake, Pemberton Icefield, and the Elaho River. Teams Eco-Internet, Hi Tec, and Hewlett-Packard were in close contention for winning, but Eco-Internet passed a dark zone at an icefall that the other two teams missed; the other two teams decided to finish in second together. The program also followed Team Houston, a first-time team of lawyers; Team Sun Precautions, among whose members was Helen Klein, a 73-year-old ultramarathon racer; and Team S.C.A.R, composed of former Navy SEALs.
In a frantic start at day break on August 24, member of 74 teams took off from the starting line with 140 competitors on horseback and the rest running on foot. Some were clearly there to win, but most just wanted the experience of the legendary race.
The Mountain Zone is following Team Live Hard in their racing endeavors. So far, the environment has been "like a circus," says team member Davor Novoselac. As runners were herded into one area of the starting field, the riders were sent to the strict Wrangler Head to retrieve their horses. Many of the horses were uneasy about the abundant crowds and noise and congestion. One rider nearly got bucked off in the saddling area, while an observing camera crew nearly lost their lens to the hoof of an irritated horse. The start was much like the early 1900's land claim rush when people and horses headed out in a mad dash to be the first to... wherever.
