Information
Runners of all ages and abilities are invited to escape the ho-hum of ordinary road races.
Five events in one night, four on the track and a 5K cross country. You must complete all five events to get a finishing score and receive the coveted Ultimate Runner t-shirt and a 4.91 Ultimate Runner car decal. The order of events is 1 mile, 400m, 800m, 100m, 5K XC. Track events are run in heats based upon submitted seed times.
Registration Info
The field size will be capped at 114 participants based upon the number of heats we can accommodate. All runners are seeded in heats by their best mile time in the last year. IMPORTANT: If you have questions about your registration, need to drop out, or wish to change your seed time send an email to the race director at ultimate@twincitytc.org.
