We are now offering a 72 Hour option at the event. This gives participants plenty of time to shoot for their PRs over the course of the weekend. We will offer a runner and hiker option for this.

The 48 Hour event returns, and now starts on Friday morning. Once again we will offer 10 mile, 12 Hour Solo, 12 Hour Relay, 24 Hour Solo and 24 Hour Relay options. Each relay option can have anywhere from 3-6 participants although the ideal size for the 48 hour relay is 6 people. The ideal size for the 12 and 24 is 4 runners. For the 8th consecutive year the race takes place at Twin Lakes State Park at Shelter 1. All events run the same 3.42 mile loop course. Each loop features approximately 400 feet of elevation change and a couple of stream crossings. This is a rolling course! It will challenge each runner. Sometimes you get your feet wet, sometimes you don't. Awards will be given to all runners finishing 50k, 50 mile, 100k and 100 mile distances. 100 mile finishers will receive a belt buckle. Participants have the option of running their 10 mile or 12 hour race during the day or night. Night races begin at 7:30pm on Saturday. Simply select the day or night choice at registration.

As a veteran owned business, we love giving back to those who help all of us. Teachers, Law Enforcement, Nurses, First Responders and Military should use the code THANKS at checkout for a discount. I do not offer refunds. Runners who contact me ahead of time may be able to roll over to another race or be deferred to next year.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place male and female in each distance. Only the 1st place relay team will receive an award. Finisher's awards will be given to all runners completing a 50k, 50 mile, 100k or 100 mile distance. Runner's finishing 100 miles will receive a belt buckle.  Only complete laps will count. Runners must finish their current lap by the time cap in order for it to count. Runners must be present in order to qualify for a prize. The one exception to this is the 12 hour distance. Top 3 male and female will be awarded combing both the 12 hour day and night runners. I will make arrangements to get you those prizes. The following laps must be completed to achieve noteworthy distances:
