Schuetzen Nein! Hour Endurance Run

Welcome to Schuetzen...where the safe word is "keep going"...

Quad Cities Trail & Ultra Runners - (QC-TUR) & Sun Trail Running bring you the return of the Schuetzen NEIN! Hour Endurance Run this June! Come join us for a very small, old school event that challenges you to run as many miles as you can in a 9 hour time limit. Run as much or as little as you'd like. It's a perfect opportunity to run further and/or longer than you ever have or thought possible! Maybe you'll "schuet" for your first trail half or full marathon or maybe even your first trail ultra marathon!

SOLO OR RELAY OPTIONS
Choose to run the nine hours solo or as part of a relay in the Mannschaft (Team) Division in which you and up to two of your fellow masochists relay around Schuetzen as a team. One runner at a time. Teams can break up loops/mileage/time however they'd like.

Low registration fee covers the basics for the race including abundant aid at the start/finish as well as hot "real" food and tasty cold beverages, a chance to earn the coveted Schuetzen Spanker (50k+ solo, 50mi+ relay), a custom race shirt, constant kicks in the ass to get back out for "just one more loop" and a guaranteed donation to Schuetzen Park who privately manage and maintain this beautiful gem of a park! To date we've donated close to $10,000 to the park on behalf of this event alone!
