Organiser's Description
DGLR50 IS PROUD TO BE TRAIL SISTERS APPROVED RACE.
JUNE 12 IS THE LAST DAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR RACE PREMIUMS.
START TIME: 6 AM FOR BOTH DISTANCES
THIS IS A CUPLESS RACE! THERE WILL BE NO CUPS AT ANY AID STATIONS. YOU CAN PURCHASE A COLLAPSIBLE CUP FOR $4. EXTENDED CUTOFFS: 15 HOURS FOR BOTH EVENTS! PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXTREMELY HOT AS IT IS A SUMMER RACE. PLEASE CARRY PLENTY OF FLUIDS WITH YOU AS YOU GO BETWEEN AID STATIONS. THE SMALL REUSABLE CUP IS NOT DESIGNED TO CARRY FLUIDS BETWEEN AID STATIONS. Please carry this cup as well as your water bottle or hydration pack. There will be absolutely no cups at aid stations (you will need to use your cup if you want to drink Coke or Ginger Ale or grab some pretzels to go). If you have run DGLR50 or Broken Toe 50K/25K in the past, you are already familiar with cupless races.
***WE ARE CHANGING THE PREVIOUS RULE WHICH DID NOT ALLOW SWITCHING DISTANCES AFTER THE RACE STARTS! WHILE WE ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO SIGN UP FOR THE 50-MILER TO DO ALL THREE LOOPS, WE WILL NO LONGER GIVE A DNF TO THOSE WHO DROP TO THE 50K MID-RACE.
NEW IN 2025: WE WILL DO A PACKET PICK UP THE NIGHT BEFORE (JUNE 27TH) FROM 5:30 TO 6:30 AT THE SHELTER AT CAESAR CREEK VISITOR CENTER, WHICH IS WHERE THE RACE STARTS AND FINISHES. WE WILL START RACE MORNING PACKET PICK UP AT 5:00.
We are looking forward to seeing you all at the end of June!

Some of the best single-track around Caesar Creek lake south of SR 73. The largest hill is about 80, however, the elevation changes are substantial due to almost constant rollers.
We will have two manned aid stations: at the start/finish and the Buckeye Way Shelter on the 50 Springs loop.
NOTE:: Drop bags are only at Visitor Center (Start/Finish) Aid Station. You will come back to this aid station at the end of each loop.
These aid stations will have Skratch, water, our famous hummus avocado wraps, pickles and pickle juice, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, chips, fresh fruit, and an assortment of other products. There will be no cups at these aid stations. Carry your reusable cup and water bottle.
The other unmanned stations (we will visit them every 30 minutes or so) will have water. No cups at any of the unmanned aid stations
