The Course (or the Anti-Course)
In classic Yeti style, there’s no set course. You decide where and how to run your 5.2 miles — trails, roads, treadmill, parking lot loops, even living room laps. The challenge is simple in theory but wild in execution:
Run 5.2 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours.
Six rounds. One big, weird, beautiful 50K.Virtual edition:
- Run or walk 5.2 miles every 4 hours for 24 hours
- That's 6 rounds of fun for a total of 50K
- Pick your own start time - the clock runs on Yeti time
- Complete anytime between Jan 1 - Dec 30th
Virtual Edition: Your Rules, Your Way
- Indoor, outdoor, treadmill, living room laps
- Solo mission or team effort
- First-timer or hundredth-timer welcome

Yeti Live! Ultra 24 Hour Challenge
In true Yeti spirit, this event is about self-reliance with a side of communal madness. In-person runners can expect the usual trail magic: simple aid, shared vibes, and that late-night laugh-cry energy.
Yeti Trail Runners vibe:
Expect weird hours, wonderful people, and the kind of memories that only show up around mile 23 at 3 a.m. There's no cutoff, no judgment, and absolutely no DNFs — just stories waiting to be written. Whether you’re chasing your fastest 50K or just surviving each leg, you’ll be part of something much bigger.
And yes — finisher medals for everyone (virtual runners, medals will be mailed). No gatekeeping here. Home or away, if you finish it, you’ve earned it.
The Fine Print
- Attempt as many times as needed until December 30th

Perfect training for your next ultra or just a perfectly weird way to collect 50K miles. Come join the fun where persistence beats pace and every 4 hours brings a new adventure. #YetiStyle
