Race Description
That's right! This is a 24 hour race on a 4 mile loop. Runners will start at 7 pm on October 14th and will have until 7 pm on October 15th to get as many miles as they can by repeating the same loop. Runners can run as fast or as slow as they need to, even take naps! We will have a base camp/start/finish with lots of treats and food to take care of all the runners. Some might see this as a daunting endeavor, but this is actually a beautiful course that will allow people to push their limits. On top of the cool jelly bracelet runners receive per lap, all participants will receive a finisher award who complete 26.3 miles or more. The top male and female runners with the most mileage completed will be dubbed THE ULTIMATE UNICORNS.

Base Camp/Support Crews/Rules
Base Camp- The location where runners begin their 24 hour journey. Each loop will bring runners back to base camp. There will be food, water, bathrooms, heaters (no fires), music, and personal drop bags for runners to have full access to. If runners anticipate sleeping during the 24 hours, participants must provide their own sleeping provisions.
Support crews may attend to their runner outside the pavilion area. PACERS- Athletes in the 24 hour challenge will be allowed ONE pacer. No pacers for the 12 hour race. If runners choose to end their race early, we will record the final mileage before the athlete officially withdraws from the race.
Drop bags are allowed and recommended. If athletes have special dietary needs, please reach out to teamdavisevents@gmail.com. We will try our best to provide a wide variety of food, supplements, etc but may not be able to meet some dietary needs.
Rules:
1. Runners may not leave the course without notifying HAM Radio Operators or the director and must sign the voluntary withdrawal form. After the form has been signed, Team Davis is no longer responsible. If runners leave the course without notifying the proper race coordinators, a ban may be issued for future races and will cover search and rescue costs.
2. Partial laps will not be counted. All or nothing folks!
3. In the event that participants come to a tie for number of laps, we will look at the final lap and determine the winner based on least amount of time needed to complete the last lap.
