The Beast of Burden 100 Mile/24 Hour Race: either run 100 miles in under 30 hours, or run for 24 straight hours.
This Ultra is not for the faint of heart! Athletes will start at Wide Water’s Marina where they will have access to restrooms and a warming shelter. They will leave the marina and run along a paved trail for approximately 1 mile where they will cross one of Lockport’s historic lift bridges and continue running on the towpath until they’ve reached the turn around 11.5 miles later. There will be a check point and aid station. Athlete’s are encouraged to carry as much supply as they can. Remember, there are roughly 5-6 miles between aid stations. * Due to risks involved with this race we request that each athlete have some ultra experience prior to this race. (Provide proof at time of registration) 100 Mile racers must provide proof of finishing at least one 50 mile event prior to race day.
Course Aid
The main aid station will be located at the start/finish line. You will have approximately 6.5 miles until you reach aid station #2. From this point you will run approximately 6 miles until you reach aid station #3. The main aid station will have a wide variety of snacks and warm foods for you.
We would like to thank Hammer Nutrition for supplying us with course aid.
Cutoff Times
Cutoff times will be strictly enforced, runners must finish in 30 hours (by 1pm on Sunday) for the 100 miler. The 24 hour event goes from 7am to 7am.
Running in the half-marathon this year will be enough of an achievement for me, and a long-term goal for me would be to run the Full Marathon next year. But running FOUR marathons in a row? I cant even imagine what type of training goes into this.
