BadgerPalooza
BadgerPalooza is an ultra marathon event held at the Autumn Lake Winery in Williamstown, New Jersey. The competition follows a specific format where participants run a 5K loop at the start of every hour. The primary event lasts for 24 hours, totaling 74.4 miles across 24 separate runs. Participants must be at the start line for every loop; failure to start at the top of the hour results in disqualification from the race.
The course traverses the winery property, featuring a variety of surfaces including hard-packed dirt trails, grass, sand, and loose dirt. The route circles two lakes and passes through the vineyard. Depending on conditions, the path may include stairs or muddy sections, as the event takes place regardless of rain.
Available event categories include:
- 24 Hour solo or relay (2 or 4 persons)
- 12 Hour solo or relay
- 6 Hour solo or relay
The event is chip-timed, with the final ranking determined by the lowest cumulative time of all completed 5K segments. It is a cup-free race, requiring runners to provide their own hydration vessels. An aid station near the start-finish area provides water, soda, broth, coffee, and various snacks. A grass field is available for participants to set up personal tents and home bases on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
