Race Day - Sunday, May 19, 2024 

  • Race morning packet pick-up:
    • 3:30 - 4:30 am - 14 hour 50M athletes
    • 4:45 - 5:45 am - 12.75 hour 50M athletes
    • 5:45 - 6:45 am - 55K athletes
  • 50 Mile Race Start Time - 14 hour limit: 4:45 am (not eligible for awards)
  • 50 Mile Race Start Time - 12.75 hour limit: 6:00 am (eligible for awards)
    • We have two start times for the 50 mile race because we want everyone to have the opportunity to "beat the train" but do not want everyone to have to start at 4:45 am.  We also do not want earlier finishers to have to wait hours for the train.
  • 55 Kilometer Race Start Time: 7:00 am
  • Last Finisher: 6:45 PM
  • Train leaves the station: 6:59 PM
    • We do not control the trains.  This is a reliable schedule and is rarely late.  But if Amtrak is delayed, athletes' departure will be delayed as well.
  • Awards will be presented as overall and age group winners cross the finish line
