Yeah the rockhopper is quill stem and I love riding it but I'm just worried that this event will destroy it. I'm planning on using two lights and a really good head torch.

I was looking at the On-One 45650b SRAM X01

Depends on the type of course and your build, but for any easy life I'd go light, short travel and go 29". That would hinge a lot on what you intend to do with it after the race though. If it's just for trail lolz then the 456 will do the job. Id you have aspirations to be an XC mile muncher then less so.

In general I enjoy riding natural trails, singletrack and some fire roads. I currently do all this on the rigid Specialized Rockhopper.... I would imagine either an XC or Trail hard tail would be massively more capable! Especially the brakes.
