Registration closes on May 14 and the deadline to receive a custom Chase the Day hoodie is May 2. The event is capped at 100 participants. Runners who complete 100 miles within the 24-hour period earn a custom belt buckle. Winners are the entrants who complete the most laps in their chosen time category; ties are decided by who reached that lap total faster. For the 24-hour category a single pacer is permitted after 12 hours into the event. The 3-person team format applies only to the 24-hour option and teams may decide how to share laps.
Course and logistics
The event uses a 2.6 mile loop that the organizer describes as well maintained, smooth, and nontechnical with no significant roots, rocks, or elevation changes. There is one main manned aid station near the start/finish area offering typical ultra nutrition, hot foods, and electrolyte replacement provided by Tailwind. Additional water coolers will be available through the event. The venue is a cup-free event; participants should bring their own bottle or cup. There will be two porta-johns on site and space for personal aid stations and tents near the start/finish on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is free and located close to the route. Camping is permitted in designated areas with no personal campfires allowed. Trekking poles are allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
