Mardi Gras meets Backyard Ultra. 💜💚💛<\/p>\n
A 36-hour Mardi Gras endurance challenge at Eightfold Farms in Benton, Louisiana.<\/p>\n
But here\u2019s the best part - you don\u2019t have to be an ultra runner to join the Krewe.<\/p>\n
Maybe this is your first 5K.\u00a0Maybe you\u2019re ready to tackle a 10K.\u00a0Maybe you\u2019ve always wanted to run your first half marathon, marathon, or ULTRA.\u00a0Or maybe you just want to find out how far you can really go.<\/p>\n
This race is YOUR challenge.<\/p>\n
Complete a 3.2-mile loop every hour, on the hour, for as long as you choose to keep going.<\/p>\n
Run one loop. Run two. Hit a new distance. Chase a huge goal. Stay all 36 hours.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d distance - just YOUR distance.<\/p>\n
Come challenge yourself. Come surprise yourself. And come see just how many loops you\u2019ve got in you. 💜💚💛<\/p>\n
Every hour. On the hour.
