This is how it works: starting at 9am, everyone has 1 hour to complete the 6.67k out-and-back course. If you finish before 10am, you get to sit, socialize, and rest until the next loop starts at 10am. This continues every hour until only one runner can complete the loop under 1 hour. If you are over 1 hour for a loop, your race is done.
This format is a super fun way to log big mileage with great people on a beautiful and easy gravel trail.
*Registration/Start/Finish location is at the Jim Charles Point parking lot.
75% refund up to March 1st, 2027 and 50% refund up to May 15th, 2027.
Transfers are not allowed since we have a wait list.
Deferrals are allowed if you can volunteer for an 8 hour shift at the 2027 KBU event, or at the 2027 Capes 100 in August.
