The Midwest Ultra Track Classic
The Midwest Ultra Track Classic is a timed ultrarunning event held at Warrensburg High School Track in Warrensburg, Missouri. The event uses a standard 400 m track with chip timing and live lap counting. Each lap is recorded as 0.25 miles. Direction on the track changes every four hours for safety and balance.
Event distances and formats:
- 24 Hour Individual
- 24 Hour Relay Team (2 to 4 members)
- 12 Hour Individual
- 6 Hour Individual
- 3 Hour Individual
A trackside, ultra-style aid station is available every lap and includes water, electrolytes, ice, snacks such as chips and cookies, fruit and candy, PB&J, soda, broth and ramen, plus hot food served during evening and early morning hours. Runners may store personal nutrition and hydration at a marked tent village. Personal tents, tables, coolers, and chairs are allowed in the tent village, and crews are permitted there. Spectators are asked to remain in the stands or bleachers. No pacers are allowed.
Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each timed event, and to the top 24 Hour Relay Team. All participants receive a finisher award specific to their event duration. Additional event items include an event shirt and a 100 Mile Finisher belt buckle. Runners must complete full laps to receive credit.
