Race Information
The Southern Tour Ultra was founded in 2013. Tom Clifford, owner and founder of Without Limits, in collaboration with the Wilmington Health Foundation, wanted to put on a running festival for the regional running community. Their goal is to have a competitive environment for teams and individuals and also have a fun environment for families and friends.
There are several events within Southern Tour - a 50-mile individual open event, a 50k individual open event, a 50-mile age-graded team relay, and Last Man Standing Event. All of these events are inviting to different types of people. From die-hard ultra-marathoners to runners who just love to show up and enjoy the atmosphere without running.
