The Night Owl- Vertical Challenge

Do you want to get comfortable running at night? 
Do you want to get in some insane vert and train your climbing legs? 
How about BOTH??? 

This is a six-hour NIGHT RACE starting at the Byron Herbert Reese Farm, the same start as CRUEL JEWEL 100. The sun will set during your run. It's designed so you start in the evening and get to see the course by day, then you know what to expect as night descends. The course is an approximately 2.34 out and back (1.17 one way) with ~654 feet of vertical gain each lap. You will be CLIMBING and DESCENDING. Poles are allowed; just be a considerate human and don't take out anyone behind you. 

2 laps = ~4.68 miles, 1308 ft gain
4 laps = ~9.36 miles, 2616 ft gain
6 laps = ~14.04 miles, 3924 ft gain
8 laps = ~18.72 miles, 5232 ft gain
10 laps = ~23.4 miles, 6540 ft gain
12 laps = ~28.08 miles, 7848 ft gain
14 laps = ~32.76 miles, 9156 ft gain

There will be a central aid station with typical ultra food. We will do our best to have options for all dietary preferences. Feel free to bring your own fuel/hydration too!
