Oh hey, registration is open!

This race began in 2018 as a 35hr race. The following year, we added the 47hr. As we prepare for the 10th Annual or edition of this event, we look back to our humble beginnings and see how much we have evolved from different locations, weather phenomenons, and amazing people from around the world.

I want to thank everyone for being a part of this journey and to continue to grow this community each year.
