Organiser's Description
ADITP 24 hour and NEW 6 hr
ADITP, with a USTAF certified course (OH24030JHP) is returning for the second year!
This timed event produced in cooperation with the beautiful city of Lebanon, Ohio.
A Day in The Park (ADITP) will take place on September 20 at Miller Ecological Park in Lebanon. Park Information
This event is a combo of 100 mi race and a 24 hour timed event.
The course loop is 1 mile long and is USTAF certified (course number OH24030JHP).
The loop is flat with minimal elevation, crushed gravel, offering pretty views of the park as well as an ample place to set up your tent along the course.
We will also have a central aid station at the start/finish area offering a typical ultrarunning fair as well as a rotating menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items (including fresh fruit smoothies, pancakes, avocado wraps, popsicles etc).
This is a 24 hour event, however if you want to run your fastest 100 miler - we will count this instead (example : you ran 100 miles in 17 hours and want to stop, we will count you as a 17 hour 100 miler finisher, not a 24 hour.
Or : you ran 100 mi in 17 hours but want to keep going, hoping to set American Age Group record in 24 hours. You keep on running and we will count you as a 24 hour finisher. Lets say you ran 140 mi in 24 hours. We will post this as your result.
Only one result will be posted on ultrasignup. Either 24 hour or 100 mi - you can decide during the race, depending how you feel.
We love this course- its so fast and gentle , flat, but not too boring (and our finish line will keep you entertained).
Brought to you by Empower Ultras, a women owned and women led Southwest Ohio based company. We know timed events, having directed Vernal Equinox 48-24-12-8 Hour event for the past five years. Vernal Equinox grew to a nationally known event bringing in people from well beyond Dayton/Cincinnati area and selling out every year.
