Beast For A Day Ultras
The Beast is ready for its next victims….. You think you can conquer The Beast? Prove it!!!
Run 1 Lap or 3, 6 or 12 hours (or as long as you can take the pain!) THE BEAST Trail (now officially called the West Feliciana Park Trail or something boring like that). For anyone not familiar with The Beast, it is a 5.62 mile loop with a good number of hills and a lot of tight turns. Considered one of the more technical trails in Louisiana, the Beast caters to all levels of runners. At any given position along the course, a runner is no more than a 3/4 mile walk through open grass field to S/F. Whether you want to run 2 laps are 10 this is going to be a day filled with tons of fun!
Runners must have adequate water/hydration pack (Recommended at least 24-48oz) ORANGE MUD Single or Double Barrels are a perfect fit for this course!
Start/Finish AID Station will have plenty of food, water, snacks, hydration, GU’s, gels etc. along with a team ready to help you get in and out as soon as possible. Midway AID Station will only have hydration and will be self serve.
All Racers will receive a nice Tri-Blend Race Shirt.
Racers will be recognized for Laps Completed Only! No Age Group, Male or Female awards. This race doesn’t know how to tell SEX or AGE!
Rules:
All runners must follow the course in the correct order, breaking of the trail and skipping sections is grounds for automatic disqualification. Trail cameras will be in place to keep track of runners! All runners must complete each lap within a 2 hour limit. Runners must Check-in at START/FINISH when arriving and Check-out when leaving to head back on to the course.
12 Hour Runners DNF Policy: If you have equal to or more time left on the clock to start and finish a lap then your average lap time at the completion of your last lap and decide not to continue then (you) the runner has decided to quit knowing they are DNFing.
For example: 6 laps finished in 10 hours (1hr40min avg) / 2 hours remain… you must continue or DNF!
The one exception is if a runner has reached the 7laps then they can quit whenever they want after the BEAST BELT is earned.
I installed this rule because runners signing up for the 12 hour race are trying to run 12 hours and did not signup for a 9 hour race. I want to inspire others to push beyond their mental and physical limits. At first I had a little pushback from this hard line I made but during and after the race the runners that came through and knew they would either DNF or run another lap and finished with the greatest sense of joy, accomplishment and satisfaction.
Also, any racer trying to break records and/or go after the cash prizes may not take water, hydration, gels, food, helping hands, or any assistances except within the (Start/Finish) area.
Additionally, any racer trying to break records and/or go after the cash prizes may not use hiking sticks or any other form of walking/running assistance for the duration of the race.
Lastly, No Pacers are allowed for any distance.
