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!
On-line registration will be open March 1st thru August 31st (noon); race day registration will be available (cash or check payable to the Badgerland Striders only).

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. 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.
