Picnic Island Ultra is a USATF Sanctioned Event at Riverbend Park in Jupiter FL.
There will be 3 events; a 10 hour individual, a 6 hour individual, and a half marathon. ( A Fixed Time Event is where you have 6 or 10 hours to run as much as you can or want to. Technically, you’re a finisher after completing one loop!) The half marathon is 4 loops.
Course: The course will be a loop around Riverbend Park (the long loop will be 3.32 miles). You’ll pass the Start/Finish Line / Aid Station and your gear every loop. We alternate the course direction each year.
Loop Size: For this event we use 2 different size course loops the “Long” loop and a “Short” loop. Since we have a time limit there is no way the timer could measure partial laps on a 3.32 mile course and get results posted within our time limit. We will run the Long loop till hour 5 in the 6 hour event and hour 9 in the 10 hour event, then if you’re not able to complete another full loop you can switch to the Short loop (0.85 miles) to get extra mileage in the final hour. Only completed full loops count, if the clock runs out and you’re 6 inches from crossing the timing mat, that loop doesn’t count!
Aid Station: A fully stocked aid station will be at the Start/Finish line, stocked with better then average ultra food!
