Dyenna Schedgick's thoughts:

The race director is one of the best I've had the pleasure of meeting. Communication was open and if there was an accomodation needed, he would do his best to help. I've never been to a race where I was asked what I'd like for breakfast, once done with race, so he could make sure they have the supplies for us. Food/aid station was every 400 meters and you had REAL bathrooms, with some heat, right off the course. The goal is to see how far you can go in 6, 12 or 24 hours. Set up your tent, chairs, family right along the course.

The catch? It's on a 400 meter high school track. I know it sounds awful, going round and round on the same track. But it really wasn't that bad. I'm a trail runner and I hate the though of even running on sidewalks so when I first checked the course (AFTER I'd already signed up), I dreaded this race.

You have the option of day or night for 6 and 12 hour runs. I went with the night runs the two years I've done this. The time flies by and as you being to tire after so many hours, the idea of only having to run a loop to the tracking mat/aid station makes this a lot more manageable.
The race director will update you hourly on total loops that hour, the total loops so far, and total mileage. But I would recomment wearing a watch because I've questioned a few loops where I didn't hear the beeps going off on the mats and it was off a few miles from my watch (already taking into the bathroom walks).

I had my tent set up on right off the track so we could sit and rest, if needed (it's perfectly fine to do so!) and my family was able to "camp out" while I ran.

I challenge you to try a time race (vs mileage race) -- I highly recommend this race.
Gave 4 stars because of the mileage discrepancies.
