Mother Nature made sure that the finishers of this year’s Hardrock were truly "wild and tough". Rain storms high river crossings, lightening and rain as well as higher than average snow amounts all combined to make this year's Hardrock one of the most challenging in history. First time Hardrocker Julien Chorier won the 2011 Hardrock in the 3rd fastest time recorded at Hardrock in 25 hours and 17 minutes. This feat is all the more impressive because a course change made the course approximately 2 miles longer than in years past. Following Julien's excellent run was Dakota Jones who completed his first Hardrock in 27 hours and 10 minutes. Dakota first became familiar with Hardrock as an aid station volunteers so his finishing has special meaning to the Hardrock family. The next 5 male finishers were all first time Hardrockers.

Diana Finkel (29 hours, 27 minutes - 5th overall), returned to Hardrock and became Hardrock's first 4 time female top finisher. Finishing behind Diana was last year's runner up Darcy Africa (29 hours 46 minutes - 7th overall) and Betsy Nye (39 hours, 17 minutes).

There were 140 starters and 80 finishers. Greg Trapp and Bob Combs won the "Caboose Award" as the final finishers under the 48 hour cutoff.

Milestones: Randy Isler collected his 15th Hardrock finish. Kris Kern completed his 10th Hardrock. Robert Andrulis, Bruce Grant and Larry Hall completed their 5th Hardrock.

The 2012 Hardrock will be held on July 13-15. The lottery for 2012 will be held in early December.
