Possum races rule. Well marked. Fun.
Super easy parking inside Delaware State Park. Best swag ever. Race directors who are on top of all aspects of making this a great event. These are the same guys who coordinate Seamus O'Possum and Forget the PR events. If you're looking for a first 50k, here it is. The course is non-technical and does not have a ton of elevation change.
Getting in is tricky though. You must register at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve to ensure you get in. It will sell out pretty quickly. First time ultra runners get special recognition of some sort each year. I've seen them achieve 100% finish rate before! Everyone is so encouraging.
Best yet, all proceeds go to the Delware and Richland county Special Olympics.
