8 & 24 HOUR SOLO

See how many miles you can shell out during the 8 or 24 Hour Races.  The distance is up to you.  Take your time and enjoy the day, run a marathon, or maybe even tackle your first ULTRA-it’s up to you.  Maybe you’re a seasoned Ultra veteran who’s going for a PR.  Or maybe, you want to try to get your first 100 miler in under 24 hours (the best of luck to you-doubt it on this course).  Whatever your pleasure, you’re on your own for the running.  But we’ll be there with a fully stocked aid station, great volunteers and a couple of RD’s that want to see you reach your goals.

The 24 hour race will start at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, May 18, 2012.  The 8 hour race will start at 8:00 a.m  on Saturday, May 19, 2012.  Both races will finish at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday May 19, 2012.

Runners will follow the 3.5 mile “long” course and complete as many full loops as they can before 3:15 p.m.  At 3:15 p.m., the long course will close.  At that time a 1 mile loop will be opened.  For the last 45 minutes, runners will complete as many loops as possible until time is elapsed.

Runners must cross the timing mat at the end of each loop.  Failure to cross the mat at the end of the loop will result in that lap not counting toward your total.

Runners must complete FULL loops for the loop to count.

Both the 8 and 24 Hour Solo will also have a Clydesdale category.  Clydesdales must weigh 200+ pounds.  And yes, we will weigh you prior to the race.  Bring your own jugs of milk and sticks of butter to make weight.

There will be a post race party starting right after the race with great food and drink to refuel.  Awards will follow shortly after the race is finished.
