Come Run at The Coleman Retreat! Start the New Year off right at the Retreat Repeat 8 hour run! Come out to the Coleman Retreat in the middle of the Francis Marion National Forest and put some miles in on an approximately 1.5 mile looped course. The course will circle the property and consist of open fields and hardwoods. Run as many or as few miles/laps as you want to in 8 hours.
This event has been created by Ultra Runners for Ultra Runners. Our goal is to have fun and provide a space for an Ultra Runner family reunion of sorts. This is a great opportunity to put in a final long run before some of the local 24 hr or 100 mile events coming up. This is also a great chance to set a distance PR if you have not dabbled a lot in long distance/timed running. Run fast or run slow, just don’t miss out on the party at the Retreat.
Cost
It’s stupid cheap. $20. We are charging only to cover the necessities. Porta Johns, race insurance, burger after party, use of the property. To help make this low price possible you won’t be receiving fancy shirts or lots of bling. This is about the people and hanging together.
Timing
This event will be manually timed using the Ultrasignup timing software. Volunteers will be marking laps as runners come through the start/finish area. It is up to you to announce your bib number and ensure that your lap has been counted.
Young Runners
Runners age 15 and under run for free with a registered parent! Message me for a promo code once the parent has registered.
Food
Please bring an item to share on the aid station table. We will provide water, tailwind, bacon and grilled cheese. If you want pickles, bring pickles. Pringles, bring Pringles to share, etc.
After Party
At the conclusion of the race there will be burgers and a bonfire. Food will be available for everyone at the after party. If more than just the runner intends to eat please let me know how many (in addition to the runner) will eat. Also, plan on dropping $5 in the jar for the additional eaters at the race. BYOB.
