NCTRaces: 15x
NCTRaces: 15x is a last runner standing running event held on the North Country Trail, Portage Trail section, with Palmer's Landing as the start, finish, aid station, and crew area. The event raises a charitable donation for the Brule-St. Croix chapter of the North Country Trail Association, which builds and maintains the local trail.
The format is one-mile laps repeated on a 15 minute cycle. Runners must complete each one-mile lap within the 15 minute window to remain in the race. Runners may start a lap late but must still finish that lap within the allotted time to avoid being recorded as out of the race. Organizers do not use chip timing; results are tracked manually and a runner is recorded when they DNF. Official results list the distance completed rather than showing DNF.
The event has a participant limit of 50 runners. A basic aid station is provided at Palmer's Landing, and runners are encouraged to set up personal crew spots, tents, or vehicles for their own supplies. Awards include a First Place Finisher award for the last runner standing and milestone awards for runners who reach 50k, 50 miles, 100k, and 100 miles. Registration is handled through UltraSignup.
