NEW FOR 2025! 10-DAY RACE OPTION!
We have a 20-runner cap for the 10-Day race, and once all 20 slots are filled, a Wait List will be started.
Brand-new this year - we're offering a 10-Day race option, from June 19 until June 29, 2025. 240 hours to run, walk, skip, hop, jump or perambulate in unique climate-controlled conditions - you won't find a better place to put up big miles than The Pettit Center's indoor track!
INVITATIONAL 24-HOUR OR 48-HOUR RACE
We’re offering an Invitational 48-Hour race, as well as two 24-Hour races (Day 1 and Day 2 of the 48), specifically designed for top-quality athletes who are trying to set a record or qualify for a national team. The idea is that the track will be relatively empty at the time, with only the 10-day runners on the track.
THERE WILL BE A MAXIMUM OF 25 ENTRIES PER DAY.. 20 WILL BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED, WITH THE FINAL 5 ENTRY SLOTS HELD BY THE RACE DIRECTORS FOR THEIR EXCLUSIVE USE.
Although there are no hard standards for inclusion in this race, we are looking for runners who have some already-proven performances. If you’re a man who’s run sub-17-hours for 100 Miles, or sub 7:20 for 50 Miles, or sub 3:45 for 50K or if you’re a woman running sub-19-hour 100-mile, sub 8:00-hour 50-mile, or sub-4:15 50K times, then this race is for you! If you think you qualify for inclusion in these races, please email Mike Melton at mcmelton57@gmail.com or Bill Schultz at weston1989475@gmail.com and ask us about these races.

The Place for setting Records
Looking for the definitive location for besting your personal records?
So were we. We literally searched around the globe for the perfect venue for setting World, National, or Age Group records. You all know the issues with the outdoors... it's outdoors! Here's your chance to run without competing against the elements. Climate controlled, 50-55 degrees, with 30-35% humidity.
The running surface is 12 millimeter Regupol Kombi brand, perfect for running.
Of course, it's a USATF Sanctioned event with a certified course- WI14001DM. The event is also sanctioned by the IAU, and was awarded a first-year Bronze Label. We look for this label to be upgraded to Silver for 2023
Mike Melton is the Head Timer.
Zach Bitter smashes 100 mile World Record at the Pettit Center
11:19:13! Can you believe it? In 2019 Zach Bitter broke the old World Record of 11:28:03 by almost Nine Minutes!
He continued on to better his own World Record for the 12hr by completing 104.88 miles.
Congrats to Zach! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Many National Age Group records also fall each year at the Pettit Center.
