50k
This isn’t a stepping stone — the 50K stands on its own. A serious ultra challenge with the rare opportunity to upgrade to the 100K mid-race if your day calls for more. No downgrades — only bold decisions.
10Mile
The 10 Miler is fast, focused, and built to test you — a true trail challenge that delivers big-race energy without the ultra distance. Whether you’re sharpening speed or stepping up your trail game, this one matters.
PACER
Just a Pacer’? Hardly. Pacers are the unsung heroes of the 100K — guiding, motivating, and keeping runners on track when it matters most. Your role can make the difference between finishing and finishing strong. You may have different pacers Pacers must do 1 full lap before switching at the main building Start/Finish. Pacers Must register and pick up pacer bib. Pacer Registration is free. After check in hours, pacer may reg/pick up bib downstairs at timing Accommodations must be purchased. See store Pacers are welcome to use Aid stations. Pacers may NOT MULE items for runners, doing so will result in DQ. Pacers are for the 100k solo runners only. Pacers may join for the last 2 laps. 60+ may have a pacer the last 3 laps Only 1 Pacer at a time
Running
1 Mile FUN RUN or HIKE! (Kids, Family, Lake Lap)
Get out, get moving, and enjoy a mile around the lake! The Fun Run is non-timed and perfect for walking, hiking, families, and kids — a great way for crew to stay active while waiting on their runner. It starts and finishes at the finish line behind the lodge, and headlamps are recommended if you’re out past 5:30 PM
