DFL 24 Hour Ultra

The DFL 24 Hour Ultra is a 24 hour running event offering the following time races: 3 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, 12 hour relay and 24 hour relay. The running course of this event is an unpaved 2.02 miles of trails that take runners alongside marshes, through forests and pastures.

The key to this type of race is for runners to run as many miles as they can in the timed race they registered for.

Drop downs to lower races will be allowed until 9:00 pm, Thursday, April 18th!
If you choose to drop down on race day you will be allowed to run and will be given a finisher’s medal but will be counted as DNF! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Swag: every registered runner will get a race shirt.

Awards: Every finisher of each race will get a 4″ medal, a black ribbon with the runners name, race and mileage run. All finishers will also receive a .pdf Finisher’s certificate with their race stats emailed. Trophies are awarded to the top three males and females of each timed race (3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr, 12 hr relays, 24 hr relays).

All 24 hour runners that reach the 100 mile mark will receive a 4″ belt buckle.
The runner with the highest mileage (above 100 miles) in the 24 hour period will each get a signet ring and a buckle. The ring will be fitted for the runner and engraved with their total mileage. The rings take 4 to 6 weeks to be made.
If no one reaches the 100 mile mark in 24 hours no buckles nor signet rings will be awarded.

Unless there are tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, this race will go on! If rained out we will do what we can to reschedule and invite all registered runners back but there may a nominal fee for rescheduling.
