Aid Station:ย ย A fully stocked aid station will be at the Start/Finish line, stocked with better then average ultra food!ย ย
Charity Benefactor: Riverbend Park / Battlefield Parkย
Registration: RunSignUp.comย The race has a NO Refund Policy in Place, Deferrals are only to the next years event
Packet Pickup: We do packet pick up race morning at the park, you'll get you bib with the timing tag attached from our timer.
Several Volunteers are still Needed!ย ย
Loop Size: For this event we use 2 different size course loops the "Long" loop and a "Short" loop.ย Since we have a time limit there is no way the timer could measure partial laps on a 3.32 mile course and get results posted within our time limit. We will run the Long loop till hour 5 in the 6 hour event and hour 9 in the 10 hour event, then if you're not able to complete another full loop you can switch to the Short loop ( .85 miles ) to get extra mileage in the final hour. Only completed full loops count, if the clock runs out and you're 6 inches from crossing the timing mat, that loop doesn't count!

All participants, volunteers & spectators agree to abide by all park rules and regulationsโฆ The park has granted us approval to hold a race in 2024, we need to show the park we care about our trails and the parks that contain them. ( Which I know you all do, but they don't know it...Yet ! )ย
Dogs: Sorry but Dogs are NOT allowed in Riverbend Park;ย ย ย ย ( https://discover.pbcgov.org/parks/General/Dogs.aspxย )
Runners may only be scored for awards under gender designated on government issued ID.ย Participants that elect to not disclose their gender or choose โOtherโ as their gender will not be included in scoring for awards.
Dropping Down: Runners can change the distance and drop down to a lesser distance. However, this has to be done before the start of the event.ย If your having a bad day and want to drop down after the event has started, you can, but you won't be eligible for an award, as it's not a fair practice.ย
The race has a NO Refund Policy in Place, Deferrals are only to the next years event. After you register if you find you are unable to attend for whatever reason, you can defer a registration 1 time to the next yearโs race.ย Email us for a deferral at [email protected]
