The Hillsdale Emergency Services and Beechwood Bootcamp proudly brings to you the Locked Up 12-Hour Ultramarathon

Mission: Set a goal and ATTACK!

Description

This one-mile looped course sets the stage for both beginners and veterans of the sport to see how far your mind, body, and energy will allow you to go. With the course taking place on both road and grass with approximately 59 feet of elevation per mile, this sets the stage for a safe environment to push yourself to the limit and never give up until your mission is complete. “But a one-mile loop is boring” you might say… WRONG! This will be a 12-hour party loaded with music and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.

The LU12 is an eco-friendly event with each participant required to provide their own hydration containers. Furthermore, there will be a limited aid station, so racers are encouraged to prepare their own nutrition. The event will be self-timed, and each participant shall document the time they cross each mile marker on the board provided.

The LU12 event is to raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics New Jersey, so come out and experience the event of a lifetime and get ready to CRUSH your goal!
