Delirium Ultra was founded in 2011 and was originally run in Bluffton, SC before moving to Ridgeland, SC in 2013 and ultimately settling in beautiful Beaufort, SC in the Habersham Community. In 2019, we moved the race to this closed course trail loop is made up of a 1.62 mile on hard packed trail. The course features a single aid station that the runners pass at the completion of each lap. "Tent City" is set up directly on the course for easy access to all of your gear and primitive camping is allowed Friday-Sunday. No open fires are permitted in "Tent City"
The Race
The Winner is the overall Male & Female who logs the greatest number of miles in each allotted race: 6, 12 and 24 Hours. Runners must register and compete in the event that they sign up for, there are no race day changes allowed. Due to the HIGH demand of this event and limitations to the number of runners we can host each year, there are no cancellations or transfers allowed for any reason. None. Sorry, let's just be fair to everyone!
