About the race
Delano Park is an ultrarunning event held in Delano Park, Decatur, AL on March 6, 2027. The event offers multiple formats including a solo 50 mile race, a 12 Hour solo event, and relay teams of 2, 3, or 4 persons. The course is a USATF certified 1.00 mile loop on an unpaved, partially tree lined path. Each lap has less than 15 feet of total elevation change.
Aid is available on every lap. The park provides room to set up a base camp before the event, permanent bathrooms along the route, and extra port a potties at trail side. Organizers attempt to capture every mile split for participants. Weather in early March typically averages a high near 60F and a low near 40F; conditions have ranged from rain to occasional snow.
The event has provided personalized finisher plaques and a race T shirt for participants. Registered runner names and relay team names are submitted to the awards maker on Monday, February 22, to allow personalized plaques. Relay registrations are managed by a team captain who registers and pays for the whole team; each relay member receives an individual plaque showing their miles and one plaque shows the team total. Registration closes March 5, 2027.
No refunds of the registration fee will be given after January 31, 2027; refunded amounts exclude tax and platform fees and are mailed by check. The 2027 edition marks the 21st year of Delano and is noted as the race director's final year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
