6/12/24-hours

The beauty of a fixed time format is it removes that distance barrier and allows you to focus on pure running. Doing 2-mile laps is easy, you keep on running until the time runs out or until you get tired.

You can take a break to rest or even nap between laps, the choice is yours. Yet, even when tired, your mind keeps telling you that you can do one more lap, then another, and another, before you know it, you've run more miles than ever before and you feel awesome for hitting a new milestone.

Remember, you will get out of this exactly what you put into it. Run solo or team relay.

INCLUDED WITH ENTRY:

  • Race swag & bib
  • Sunday brunch
  • Finisher medal
  • Buckle for 100-mile finishers (24-hour category)
  • Trophies for top finishers & top relay teams

100-Miles

Running 100-miles is the biggest milestone for many ultra runners. It is not an easy task, takes determination, persistence, patience, and grit to push on through. The Silver Moon Race is perfect for runners attempting their first 100-miles or for seasoned runners to improve their pacing, training, and endurance.

Some runners will hit 100-miles within 24-hours, and others will need more time. Runners must reach at least 85-miles by 24-hours to be allowed to continue for up to 6 additional hours to reach 100-miles within 30-hours. Run solo or team relay.

INCLUDED WITH ENTRY:

  • Race swag & bib

RUN SOLO OR RELAY?

Runner

SOLO

Run the race of your choice solo. Pacers are allowed on the course, and you can have a crew to provide support throughout the race so you can hit new milestones and achieve your goals.

Relay Team

TEAM RELAY

As a team, run the 6/12/24-hour or 100-mile race up to 30-hours in a 4-person team relay, taking turns doing laps or sets of laps equally to get in as many laps as possible as a team.

LEADERBOARDS

Even though the race is fully chipā€‘timed for official results, every runner will also use our onā€‘courseĀ leaderboards to track their completed loops. Leaderboards will be available for all race categories and relay teams. This gives you a quick, visual way to see your progress lap by lap.

As you finish each loop:

  • Stop at the leaderboard for your race category
  • Find your nameā€”the list is in alphabetical order by first name
  • Mark off your newly completed lap
  • Head back out

It takes only a few seconds and is highly recommended. For accuracy and fairness, only the runner may mark their own laps.

Weā€™ll provide a selection of colored Sharpies, but bringing your own markerā€”or even a small personal stampā€”is encouraged.Ā Having your own color makes it easier to spot your row and watch your progress grow throughout the race.

Leaderboards will be organized by distance and time category, with runners listed alphabetically for easy lookup.

RELAY TEAMS

The team relay option allows a team of 4-runners to attempt to complete as many laps as possible as a team in the 6, 12, 24-hours or 100-mile race for up to 30-hours.

Teams doing the 100-mile category can push on for up to 30-hours to get 100 or more miles as a team!

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.

Learn more about relay team rules and requirements in theĀ FAQ.

COURSE
