Come hallucinate with us! Run your best 3, 6, 12 or 24 hrs on a flat 1.2 mile loop course in North Georgia! Set in the scenic Boling Park in the small town of Canton, GA. It’s a hot, midsummer night. While most people are in bed dreaming, you’ll be LIVING out your dream of accomplishing that Ultramarathon distance or PR that’s been eluding you. (Every year we have 100 mile finishers! This year they will receive a personalized BELT BUCKLE.) Come run with a group of friends and/or meet other runners from around the country as you share a midsummer’s night on a trail. There is plenty of room in the open field in the center of the loop to set up your tents and personal aid stations.
Course
The course is a 1.2 mile loop that is part gravel and part hard packed dirt. In the center of the loop is a large oval grass area where all hour runners can set up tents/personal aid stops. We will have flood lights in the main field and glow sticks and lanterns will light the outer .2 mile loop giving it a “Midsummer Night’s Dream” enchanting look and feel. You may even see a few familiar Shakespeare characters! We will have one fully stocked aid station with something sweet and something salty as well as fluids, so no need to carry anything – you’re always just a mile or so away from the aid station! Don’t forget your headlamp! –
Results and Awards
We will have our Results Kiosks on-site allowing you to print your total mileage, pace, race rank and gender rank at the end of the race.
All Finishers get a Medal. If you are a 24hour/100miler you will receive a flask. We personalize your flask with your name and mileage. You will receive it in the mail. If you run 100+ miles you will receive a Midsummer Night’s Dream customized BELT BUCKLE!! Guess What?! Every year the 24-hour runners get customized flasks…THIS Year all finishers get Flask Finisher Medals!
Tent City
Pitch a tent in TENT CITY for your own little haven during the event. The tents in previous years were creative and impressive! Impress us again! We are having a tent contest. In years past we had a unicorn tent, a tent with a pool, a full blown kitchen tent and a tent that was like a floating bed! Judged by your fellow Midsummer Night’s Dream Runners – you could win a fun prize!
**You may set up your tent the night before however, it is at your own risk. We will not be there and there are frequent visitors that go in and out of the park**

I enjoyed running in the 1.2 mile loop. I liked starting b at night because it was cooler. Great to have vehicle nearby or camping tents nearby to rest when you need to. Great food and music!! Will do every yr if I can!!
