Organiser's Description
Special Operations Warrior Foundation: Donate to SOWF [https://specialops.org/run-for-sowf/]
Our mission is driven by a desire to honor the sacrifice made in service to our country by providing cradle to career educational support to children of fallen Special Operations Personnel and spouses as well as all Medal of Honor Recipients. From a battlefield promise made in 1980, the SOWF program has grown to include immediate financial support to severely wounded, injured, and ill Special Operators. By providing this support, SOWF aims to help these families build brighter futures despite the challenges they face due to the loss of a loved one.
Registration will be open every day till the event. However, to guarantee you get a bib that tracks your distance and time, you need to sign up before _MAY 22ND_. Sign-ups that are day of or without a bib can still compete for the win and have their distance measured for the overall miles completed during the event as long as you have an app that tracks your mileage.
The Event:
What: 24-HR Endurance run, walk, jog! This 4 mile loop, featuring a 200 ft. elevation gain at Boat Hill and ~300 ft. for one completed loop. Challenge your will and ability! Will you be the first person to finish 100 miles in 24hrs? While this race will be held for the full 24 hrs., any distance from all participants will be recorded to show their input and dedication to supporting SOWF for the total miles completed by all participants at the end of the event. Need an incentive to compete, the one who runs the longest distance will receive the Start/Finish Banner as a trophy. Last year, first place ran away with banner finishing 60 miles.
When: 5th - 7th June, run starts @ 8 am on the 6th and will end @ 8 am the 7th. Overnight camping can start at 4pm on the 5th. Payment for camping will be taken care of at the airstrip. Camping costs $12 per family per night, paid in cash or check at the event. This will be a pack-in, pack-out event; there will be extra garbage cans to take care of extra trash. Open fires will follow the fire bans when the event occurs. (Collection of firewood is prohibited on state park grounds and military reservation.)
Who: Anyone! It's a free event! Show up and put in your support for those who gave it all!
What else: There will NOT be food or water readily available for purchase. The aid stations on the route will have FREE water and electrolytes for use. There will also be tools to stretch out and recover during and after the race. _HOWEVER, we will have Redeemed Coffee Co. supporting the event on the 6TH._
