Set your own pace into 2027. Three hours, six hours, or nine — you pick the window, then run or walk as many laps of the two-mile loop as you want, can, or dare. For each lap you complete, drop a rock into your mug as a symbol of your progress and determination. Some people come for one lap and a coffee. Some people are still out there when the light goes flat in the afternoon. Both are the right answer.

Packet pickup opens
Starts at 8:00 AM at the Pavilion in front of Bridgeway Brewing Co. You can also register from your phone right up until the gun goes off.
9:00 AM
 
All windows start
That makes this the rare race where a first-time walker and a seasoned ultrarunner can start together at 9:00 AM, share the same two-mile loop all day, and both end the day having done exactly what they came to do.
On course
 
Laps of the loop
A scenic two-mile loop through Bridgeway Station, run as many times as your chosen window allows. Lap counting is on us; the rocks are on you.
Finish
 
A medal for every finisher
However many laps you decide to log, every finisher receives a medal — the distance you choose is the distance that counts. There is music, a post-race hangout, and complimentary race photos, and your entry supports local nonprofits through the Giving Series.
6:00 PM
 
Time limit
Pick your window when you register: 3 hours (9:00 AM – 12:00 PM), 6 hours (9:00 AM – 3:00 PM), or 9 hours (9:00 AM – 6:00 PM). When your clock runs out, your day is done.

Course or Race Highlight

There is no finish line waiting to tell you when you are done here. You choose your own distance by choosing your own time, and the only question the clock asks is how much of it you want to spend moving. That makes this the rare race where a first-time walker and a seasoned ultrarunner can start together at 9:00 AM, share the same two-mile loop all day, and both end the day having done exactly what they came to do.

It is also a holiday send-off. Bring a leftover dish from the past season that needs to be eaten, and bring a container to take somebody else's home in — the Holiday Leftover Banquet is a real part of the day, not a joke on the flyer. There is music, a post-race hangout, and complimentary race photos, and your entry supports local nonprofits through the Giving Series.

The Course

A scenic two-mile loop through Bridgeway Station, run as many times as your chosen window allows. The loop returns you past the start and past your car every couple of miles, which is what makes the format work — you are never more than a mile from your gear, your snacks, or a decision to call it a day. Lap counting is on us; the rocks are on you.

 

Parking

Bridgeway Station has ample parking right adjacent to the course, and it is free. Park as close to the facility as you can if you are going to use your car as your pit stop area — on a timed loop event, a well-stocked trunk is worth more than a well-stocked drop bag.

 

Aid Stations

One aid station on the two-mile loop, adjacent to the driveway entry and exit at Bridgeway Station — you will pass it every lap.

Available snacks

Pickles Cookies Chips Assorted candy Fig Newtons Pretzels Holiday leftovers

Hydration

Water Coke Ginger ale

Wildly Charged is our official hydration sponsor — look for the orange 5-gallon jugs at aid stations.

Cup-less event — please bring your own hydration vessel.

Every Finisher Earns a Medal

This one is not about the podium. However many laps you decide to log, every finisher receives a medal — the distance you choose is the distance that counts.

Age Group Awards (Male & Female)

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each of 15 age categories will earn an age group medal — a custom piece to add to your finisher's lanyard at the end of the event.
