Lake Norman State Park Six Hour Endurance Run
Join us at Lake Norman State Park for another great event the Lake Norman State Park Six Hour Endurance Run. This event will be held rain or shine from 9:00am to 3:00pm. The endurance run is for both beginner and experienced runners. Run as few or as many hours as you would like or run as few or as many laps as you would like within the 6 hour time frame.
This trail run is along the shore of Lake Norman and provides gorgeous views, varied terrain (runnable course with rolling trails, approx. 768 ft of gain per loop). The course will take place on the 5 mile Lake Shore Loop.
Each loop will begin and end at the Start/Finish line which will be located at the end of Shortleaf Drive so you will have easy access to an aid station, drop bag or bathroom. Total course loop is 5.7 miles.
There will be one fully stocked aid station along the course serving water, Mountain Dew, Coke, Ginger Ale, and Tailwind. Food will consist of mostly pre-packaged items. Hammer Gels will be provided. Pizza will be available during and after the run as well.
Space will be available at the Start/Finish line for canopies if you would like to set up your own aid station. There will also be a shelter available with picnic tables and a drop bag area. Please label your drop bag with your name or bib number.
Please bring your own hydration source to carry with you on the course.
Bathrooms are located at the Start/Finish line as well as at mile 3.1 along the course.
This is your perfect opportunity to either use this event as a tune up for an upcoming 50 or 100 mile race, or just to log some good single track trail miles and not have to worry about a DNF. Volunteers will be positioned along the course during the last hour of the event to ensure that each runner will get credited for logging as many miles as possible up to the last minute of the event.
There will be special awards for 1st place overall male and female for the individual division (most miles completed in six hours), as well as a 1st place male and female Masters award. All results will be posted to UltraSignup and UltraRunning Magazine.
