Description

Endless Summer running fest, and lake party!

Description Between June 20, 8AM and June 21, 8PM you get 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, or 36 hours to clock as many 1 mile loops around Catfish Lake as you can. The loop is a dirt / gravel road with a brief grass section, and about 120 feet of elevation change. This is THE trail race for road runners. At the start / finish you can expect a non-stop party with good food, good music, and summer vibes. Cool off in the lake, or the misting tent, hit the slip 'n' slide, or hang by the overlook. With a beautiful summit lake on one side, and a beautiful mountain view on the other, this is sure to be the summer days you always hoped for. If you don't want to run, get a Hang Pass to enjoy everything the runners get, but the pain (basically just food, and drinks). However, you do not have to have one to come support a runner. 

Giveaways Each runner will get a sweet tank, a sticker, and whatever other fun things we can scrounge up in the next 5 months!

Awards Top 3 male, and female distance of each duration will receive an award. While you may start any duration at any time, you are only eligible for a duration award if you start at the official June 20, 8AM start. Specific distance awards are in the works, including a buckle for 100+ milers.

Ceremonies Will be held right after each duration (2PM, 8PM, 2AM, 8AM, 2PM, 8PM).

Parking will be at the Belcher Tract parking lot off 280. There is a 0.8 mile walk / jog to the start / finish. We plan to rent some golfcarts, or ATVs for shuttling though.

Camping Bring whatever you need to make yourself successful: tents, specific foods, camp stoves, sleeping pad, etc. But let's try to keep it to a 10'x10' maximum. Tent spaces will be limited.

Food There will be a constant aid station at the start / finish with all the regular ultra-grub. We will serve breakfast on day two (7AM-9AM), Lunch both days (11AM-1PM), and dinner both days (6PM-8PM). And if there's something you want / need at anytime, just ask. We will do our best to accommodate. If you don't want to run, but you do want to eat, get a Hang Pass!

Recreation While swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and floating are allowed, they are not part of the official event, and will be done at your own risk.
