COURSE

KNOW THE COURSE

The Silver Moon Race is designed to be a lap race where participants do as many laps as possible in the race time of their choice. Either doing it solo or in a 4-person team relay.

While only a 2-mile lap, it has to be one of the few lap courses that feature such diverse beauty and changes in landscapes as you progress through, making it one of the most beautiful and enjoyable races that you are happy to repeat lap after lap.

Below you will find details of the course including a course map, elevation profile and details to help you prepare for an amazing race.

COURSE LAPS

RACE LAPS

The race consists of a 2-mile lap course (orange on map) and a final 1-mile course (dark teal). The 2-mile lap is the main course that runners will do as many laps as possible in the time of 6, 12, or 24-hours.

FINAL LAP

The 1-mile lap is used as a short last lap when runners cross the lap checkpoint with 15 to 7-minutes left in their race time of 6, 12, or 24-hours. Those coming into the finish line with 7-minutes or less of their race time will stop and finish.

100-MILERS

The 100-mile race participants will need to complete 49-laps of the 2-mile course and 1-lap of the 1-mile course before 30-hours. They will finish with approximately 100.5 miles. However, if under 49-laps with less than 7-minutes to 30-hours at the lap checkpoint, then they will be stopped and their total laps and distance will be noted for the 30-hours in the results but not ranked towards 100-mile finishers.

COURSE MAP

COURSE CONDITIONS

The course is all dirt farm road from a hard-packed surface that is great for gaining speed to sections with soft soil to lightly packed dirt. Providing excellent conditions for running lots of laps. Trail shoes are recommended.

COURSE MEASUREMENTS

The 2-mile lap is 2.03 miles, the 1-mile lap is exactly 1-mile. Due to the extra 0.3 miles on the 2-mile lap, for every 33-laps completed, 1-mile additional will be added to the total distance.

ELEVATION PROFILE

The course is relatively flat except for one hill section with a 30-foot climb up and then down on a gradual slope. The elevation profile makes it look more deceiving than it actually is in person.

LAP CHECKPOINT

As runners complete each lap they can stop to hydrate, refuel, get into their drop bag, or rest before starting the next lap.

REFUEL

The race checkpoint will have a fully stocked station to help runners refuel from the staples of water, gels, electrolytes, salt capsules to BBQ, hot foods, snacks, and a variety of real foods including local farm fresh fruit to help keep you going strong to finish the amazing Silver Moon Race.

TEAM RELAY

The team relay option allows 4-runners to team up and attempt to complete as many laps as possible as a team in the 6, 12, 24-hours or the 100-mile race.

Team members take turns alternating through laps or time periods, thus reducing the total laps per person which "technically" should allow each "rested" person to keep a faster lap pace.

Teams can choose to rotate through each lap or choose to split up the overall time evenly. For example, if running the 12-hour race, each team member would run for approximately 3 hours.
