Tesla Hertz Run

Four days in the pine barrens.

Long Island. Rocky Point. One 10.48-mile loop, run as many times as your distance asks for — anywhere from 10 miles to 150. Day, night, your call.

Two stocked aid stations. Crew welcome. Course open Friday 6 PM through Monday 6 AM, every distance gets the same generous cut-off. No drop-downs — whatever distance you start, you finish or you DNF. We give you everything we've got to make sure you finish.

99.8% trail — seriously.

Course

A 10.48 mile loop set in a really beautiful piece of Long Island — Rocky Point pine barrens. Almost no outside world interaction. Just you and the trail.

You Can Do It.

We want everyone to finish, we always do. Which is why there's one strict rule: whatever race you START, you MUST complete — or you get a DNF. No drop-downs.

That said, we make it as doable as we can. We give you ample support, with a grocery store nearby. We'll even take orders and grab you whatever you need. The course is open until Monday at 6 AM for EVERY race — yes the 50K, 10 mile, or any of them. Cut-off for ALL races is Monday at 6 AM.

You've got all the support AND time you need. Get after it.

Weekend Schedule

Aid Stations

Two aid stations on the 10.48-mile loop. We use Skratch Labs on course, plus the usual ultra staples — PB&J, pretzels, chips, candy, fruit. Broth and pierogies once the day winds down. Pizza, burgers, hot dogs — even special requests if we can swing it.

Crews & Pacers

Pacers: All pacers need to wear pacer bracelets and sign their own waiver. Pacers are allowed 12 hours into a race, or during the dark hours — whichever comes first. 150 milers must complete at least 1 lap on Friday night before taking a pacer.

Crews: Crews are allowed at both aid stations. Depending on permits and headcount we may restrict which distances can crew at Whiskey Girl — we'll let you know in pre-race emails.

Volunteer

Tesla weekend is four days and four nights. We always need help — aid station shifts, course marshals, kitchen, parking, packet pickup, sweepers. Volunteer hours earn race credit for future Happily Running events.

Refunds & Deferrals
