Sunshine Endurance Run

🌞 Race Overview

Endurance Race Timing is excited to announce that we are bringing back the Sunshine Endurance 6 and 12 hour race for a second year! This race was first put on in 2021 by our friends to help us emotionally and financially get thru a very difficult time while Annie was going through her fight with breast cancer. We can't say enough how much this helped us when we really needed it and we wanted to bring this race back to help another family who is currently in a battle with cancer.

💖 The Why

• Beneficiary: The race proceeds will benefit the family of Aaron and Natalie "Nicki" Maas.
• Previous Battle: Natalie has previously won her battle with breast cancer.
• Current Challenge: Unfortunately, another type of cancer has returned and she is currently in the midst of diagnosis and treatment.

🏞️ Course

• Location: The course runs through a working cattle farm in middle Georgia that has been in the family for nearly 200 years.
• Loop Details: The start/finish point of the 4.44 mile loop (7 laps is 50 km and 14 laps is 100 km) is in a large open pasture with plenty of room for parking and crew set-up along the course.
• Scenic Trail: Most of the trail runs through pastures with a five-foot path cut through the grass.
• Wildlife: Keep an eye out for cows, deer, rabbits, and turkeys as we gain 335+ feet of elevation each loop over runnable hills and flat sections.

🏆 Awards

• Award Categories: There will be awards for top 3 male and female in each race.
• No Additional Awards: No masters or age group awards.

💧 Aid Station

• Location: There will be an aid station at the start/finish line stocked with water, Gatorade and all your favorite running snacks.
• Dietary Needs: If you have particular dietary needs (vegan, gluten free, allergies), please make sure you bring what you need.
• Meals: We will have some type of more substantial meal around 12 pm and 6 pm that is yet to be determined but likely to be hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza or something like that.

🎁 Donations/Sponsors
