AlfaDog 40 Mile + 25K

The name AlfaDog is inspired by Pretty Prairie’s most famous resident ever, Carl Switzer — aka ‘Alfalfa’ in Our Gang/the original Little Rascals — not to mention the occasional alfalfa field in ‘the Prairie’. Couple that with the local PPHS mascot, the Bulldogs, and bingo — you’ve got our cool-sounding name, AlfaDog. Fitting name for an ultra, right?

Purpose
To offer a fairly priced ultra (with shorter distance option) and bring runners together to help facilitate community improvement projects around town in Pretty Prairie.

Course
40 mile: Short out-and-back on Main Street before embarking on three 13.1 mile loops.
This will allow several access points to drop bags and bathrooms.

25K: 2.4 mile loop around downtown Pretty Prairie before venturing out on the same 13.1 mile loop as the 40 milers.

Time limit
There will be a 12-hour cutoff time for both distances.

Awards
In 2020, we will have handmade canvases for each finisher, with a label for writing your own time/place. We will look into more traditional awards in the future, if numbers continue to grow.
