Organiser's Description
The S.O.L. is a do-it-yourself, self-guided, self or team supported 100 mile adventure. For the month of October, November and December in 2026; runners are invited to explore the beautiful trails of Louisiana. This choose-your-own-adventure race is a unique virtual event.
Runners are asked to run 100 MILES on 5 LOUISIANA TRAILS (S.O.L. because a star has 5 points) in 3 DIFFERENT REGIONS of Louisiana, in 48 HOURS.
Many 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. 100 miles in one location has been done to death!
I, the RD, will provide a list of 25 approved trails to choose from. Athletes must submit a general plan and provide evidence of completion in the form of Strava, Coros, or Garmin data. *Runners would be wise to upload their data from watch to phone with wi-fi. I'd hate to see your event spoiled by a run getting wiped!
Yes, you will get a BUCKLE and a t-shirt upon completion!
YOU MAY NOT COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE PRIOR TO REGISTERING FOR THE CHALLENGE. That's bogus! All of your submitted data must be recorded AFTER your registration date.
THE RD HAS PERSONALLY COMPLETED THIS TASK SO I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ULTRA AND WOULD LIKE TO TEST YOURSELF PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, THIS IS THE EVENT FOR YOU!
