Runners will be
gathering at Lapham Peak State Park to see how many miles they can cover in the
time frame selected; the 12 and 6 hour divisions have day or night
options. There is also the "Distance" division, for runners who
want to cover a certain distance (such as a marathon, 50K, 50 miles, etc.), but
feel they may need more time than the 6 or 12 hours. Join us, and let's
see how FAR you can go!
2025 Registration will open March 1st

Aid
Station: There will be a manned aid
station at the start/finish of the loop, with a wide variety of foods and
fluids. Hammer Nutrition is a sponsor, so we will have HEED, HammerGel, and
Endurolytes products. NOTE: We are a cupless event; runners will be responsible for carrying
their own container (bottle, vest, reusable cup, etc.) to refill along the
way. If you do not already have a
reusable cup, we will provide you with one at check-in, courtesy of Hammer
Nutrition! Runners can also bring their personnel
supplies, items you know work well for you, and set up right
along the course with a table/chair, tent, canopy, etc.
Pacing: Pacing is not allowed in any of the events, but family
and friends are welcome to crew for you and accompany you while you are taking
walking breaks.
Awards: Plaque for all runners, with name and mileage
total. The top male and female runners in the 24, 12 (day), and 6 (day)
