2027 Uncle Doug's 6-Hour Challenge

Race Information

The concept is simple, how many 2.5 mile trail loops can you complete in 6 hours? At 8:00am Uncle Doug will blow the starter's whistle and you will be set loose to start accumulating miles. At 2:00pm, Uncle Doug will blow the whistle once again signifying that the 6 Hours have ended. NO LAPS will be able to be started after 1:45pm but if you start your final loop prior to 1:45pm, the full loop will be counted towards your total.

All activities will take place outdoors and there will be a space near the start/finish line for you to set up a camp with all food/drink that you will need to fuel for the 6 hours. A camp fire will be supplied to provide a warm place to hide and at some point Uncle Doug's Famous Chili will be available for all to enjoy! Does it get any better than that?
