This race is specifically designed by ultrarunners to provide competitors with the perfect combination of speed and beauty. Enjoy the splendid forests, bridges, and craggy rocks of the terrain carved out by the last ice age, while never needing to worry about your footing.
Break The Bank 50 is committed to growing our sport through the inclusion and promotion of subsets of the running population which have been historically denied or persuaded not to run races through direct or indirect means. There will be no discrimination allowed at our race and we feel sorry that this even needs to be said. All our welcome as long as they treat others with respect deserved by all.

The course is nearly flat (we really mean it) for the first 40 miles. There is a fantastically gradual downhill finish featuring a 500 foot drop over the last 10 miles.This elevation change is just enough to make you feel like you are having the best day of your life without crushing your quads at the end.
