About the race
The Ripper - Sunrise to Sunset is a timed distance event on Saturday, May 2, 2026. Runners cover as much distance as possible within the allotted time by completing laps on a 3.3-mile course. Only fully completed laps count toward the total distance. The course is approximately 95% trail running, featuring mostly single-track trails with some wider sections. The terrain includes rolling mountain bike hills and is rugged with roots.
A well-stocked aid station at the pavilion provides water, Tailwind Nutrition, soda, sweets, and salty snacks. Bathrooms and showers at the YMCA are available. Runners can set up a personal rest area in a field. Awards are given to the top 3 men and top 3 women, and all participants receive a special keepsake swag item and a finisher's recognition piece.
The event proceeds rain or shine, with cancellation only under extreme circumstances preventing EMS and support staff from functioning. There are no refunds or credits if canceled. Rules include: no bib transfers, no pacers, no dogs, no littering, and crews are not permitted on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
