About this race
Holly Springs Race Against the Sun is back for our fourth year!
Join us for an epic event! We are offering a new 100 Mile option with a 30hr cutoff, so come get that buckle!!! We also offer a 24hr and 12 hour individual format. Want to run as a team? We have that too, with a 24hr 6 person or 12 hour 4person relay options. RATS has something for everyone! The course will be a 4.167 mile trail loop that runners will get to experience all the beauty Bass Lake and Sugg Farm has to offer! This is NOT a Last Man Standing event! The distance of the course is meant to be able to practice for your next Last Man Standing event and for easy pacing for our athletes. If you complete a full loop every hour, in 12 hours you will have completed 50 miles, and in 24 hours you will have completed 100 miles.
Ruck division: Ruckers will have a mandatory gear check and must carry their pack every loop.
