Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races : Course overview
The Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races are held at the Jester Park Equestrian Center in Granger, Iowa. The event uses a looped 10 Mile course and offers multiple distance options:
- 10 Mile
- 50K
- 50 Mile
- 100 Mile
The course is predominantly trail with small rolling hills and stretches of flat terrain. Each 10 Mile loop includes about 455 feet of elevation gain. The layout is lollipop shaped, so runners will encounter two way traffic on some sections. The start and finish are at the Equestrian Center.
Course markings use green flags and green chalk when outbound and orange flags and orange chalk when returning; flags are placed on the right. Small LED lights are clipped to tree limbs about every mile as confidence markers. Drop bags are allowed only at the Equestrian Center aid station.
Aid stations are located at the start/finish area and at approximately mile 5. Station offerings include common aid station foods plus items such as hot dogs, brats, pizza, donuts, GU products, and a sports drink option. Restrooms are available in the Equestrian Center, an outdoor latrine at about mile 3.5, and modern restrooms near the mile 5.7 shelter. The race follows a cupless policy and encourages runners to carry their own bottle or bladder.
Timing is managed by RaceResult. The 50K, 50 Mile, and 100 Mile races are UTMB index qualifiers. Pacer rules allow a pacer for the 100 Mile after lap 5 and for the 50 Mile on the final lap only; each pacer must run at least one full 10 Mile loop with the runner.
