Endless Summer<\/strong><\/span> running fest, and lake party!<\/span><\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/span> Between June 26, 8AM and June 27, 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 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Giveaways<\/strong><\/span> Each runner will get a sweet tank, a sticker, and whatever other fun things we can scrounge up in the next 5 months!<\/span><\/p>\n

Awards<\/strong><\/span> <\/span>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.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ceremonies<\/strong><\/span> Will be held right after each duration (2PM, 8PM, 2AM, 8AM, 2PM, 8PM).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Parking<\/strong><\/span> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Camping<\/strong><\/span> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Food<\/strong><\/span> 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!<\/span><\/p>\n

Recreation<\/strong><\/span> While swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and floating are allowed, they are not part of the official event, and will be done at your own risk.<\/span><\/p>\n
