Evenstar Ultras
Evenstar Ultras is a timed trail running event held at Allen's Mountain in Shenandoah River State Park, Bentonville, VA. Participants choose a time block and complete as many 3.48-mile loops as they can within that period. Each loop includes about 670 feet of elevation gain and is run primarily on single-track trail with technical sections that include rocks, roots, and the possibility of two creek crossings. Frequent returns to the main aid station reduce the need to carry extensive gear.
Race time options:
- 24 hour event
- 12 hour event
- 6 hour event
- 3 hour event
The event provides a supported course and a main aid station offering water, electrolyte drinks, sodas, coffee, classic ultra snacks, and cooked warm food during the race. Each entrant receives race entry, course support access, a hoodie with the event logo, and a finisher award for completing at least one loop. Awards are given to the top three women and men in each time category, and a special award is planned for those who complete 100 miles.
Night running rules require participants in the 12 and 24 hour events to wear a headlamp or waist light once it gets dark and to carry backups as directed. The event is Trail Sisters Approved and includes a pregnancy and postpartum deferment or refund policy for participants up to 12 months postpartum. Registration closes on Oct 5 at 11:59PM ET.
