SIGN UP HEREFirst-timer or seasoned ultra runner, there's a challenge here for you. Choose your distance: 4 hours, 12 hours (day), 12 hours (night), or 24 hours. Go solo, pair up, or race as a team on our scenic 2.2-mile trail running loop. Relay it or run together, there's no wrong way, just laps to rack up.
You'll be fully supported at every lap by our pit stop crew (think homemade pies and banana bread) and cheered on by every runner out there. It's an environment built for smashing what you thought was impossible, in 2026 86% of our runners hit a distance PB.
One lap or one hundred miles, the challenge is yours. Run as much or as little as you like in your chosen time. It's not about the distance. It's about discovering what you're capable of. -
More information coming soon for 2027.
