Their way will be lit by her head lamp. She'll have to trust Blue's instincts -- and her own -- to reach the finish line safely. They not only have to finish within the 24-hour time limit, Blue must be judged "fit to continue" by a veterinarian at the end. Since the race was founded in 1955, barely half the riders who started finished.

On the last night of her life, Kathy Wood stood in the firelight of a Mormon girls camp in the Sierra Nevada, telling 150 teenage girls about her faith in God. That memory, captured on videotape, sustains her family now. As her brother, David Stone, said, "It's a special gift.
