Runners are asked to run 5 LOUISIANA TRAILS (S.O.L. because a star has 5 points) in 3 DIFFERENT REGIONS of Louisiana, in 48 HOURS.
Most folks can run a hundred in 24-32 hours, add in the logistics of travel, and nutrition and sleep and the time those things take...it gets more difficult.

Yes, you will get a BUCKLE and a t-shirt upon completion.
