* unofficial finishes (example you signed up for Night Owl Winter Marathon but received an unofficial half marathon finish) will count towards your Run Empowered Series, but DNFs (except Empower Backyard Ultra) do not. Remember - we give unofficial finishes in East Fork 100 mi and 100K if you complete at least one loop (50K).
Please remember to register for individual events
Signing up for series doesn’t guarantee your participation. You need to register for individual events and pay appropriate fees. You need to complete ALL SIX Empower Ultras events in 2026 and have valid ultrasignup results to be considered a finisher and earn your jacket. Alternatively you can complete FIVE Empower Ultras events and volunteer a full shift at one.
Event's current local time: 11:00 AM ET
