The Underground Circus 100
The Underground Circus 100, is a no DNF race😊. It is being held on our beautiful scenic Silver Comet Trail and will take you 5.0 miles out to the bike shop but don’t cross the street; you simply turnaround and run 5.0 miles back. The route is fast relatively flat asphalt which is surrounded by a grass trail so you can run on either, distance is the same. The trails are beautiful: trees, wooded areas so if want trail it's waiting for you. The trail will be open to the public but there is always someone at the aid station. The race has a small town feel to it as I am around the course all day until the last runner is finished. The start of the trail has plenty of restaurants, Publix, Jimmy John subs, a Steak restaurant and close to hotels. You're a short drive away from historic structure such as Dr. MLK Jr. house and GA TECH, Spellman and Clark Atlanta College, Mercedes Benz Stadium and The GA World Congress Center. The Aquarium and Civil Rights Museum and Morris Brown College is all within 15 minutes from the race site. The Park is in a suburb of Atlanta( Smyrna) and there is a Racetrack & QT gas station, restaurants across the street from the trails. This race is perfect for a 1st time Ultrarunner whom may not be used to staying up all day and night. Your assistance is a fully stocked (aid station) will be supplied with cups, sports drink as well as various snacks, I would encourage you to bring your go to items especially for the overnight runners. If you have a restricted diet bring your items for the race. I love you guys but please come prepared for 48 hrs. The RD is on hand the entire time checking in on you. The RD has the final say on DQ. If you do not cross the timing mat your lap isn't counted. There are many walkers/runners asking questions about what are you doing especially when they saw you running 8 hrs ago and wonder why you're still moving but it keeps you going. Saturdays are busy in Atlanta especially when it's hot and it's usually 80 degrees during May so sunscreen 😉. There are no sharp turns or non marked trails so no chance of getting lost. You only job will be run as much as you want. Remember don't stress about not making cut offs because we can always drop/change you to the timed events if you miss a cut offs. This is a challenge but definitely NO STRESS and the RD and volunteers are definitely here to help you. Pacers can be available on request but no one can carry you. We want to see you finish ❤️. All proceeds go to helping the homeless. Please donate by bringing socks, underwear toothpaste toothbrushes please and thank you
