Welcome to Schuetzen…where the safe word is “keep going”…
Quad Cities Trail & Ultra Runners (QC-TUR) & Sun Trail Running bring you the return of the Schuetzen NEIN! Hour Endurance Run this June! Come join us for a very small, old school event that challenges you to run as many miles as you can in a 9 hour time limit. Run as much or as little as you’d like. It’s a perfect opportunity to run further and/or longer than you ever have or thought possible! Maybe you’ll “schuet” for your first trail half or full marathon or maybe even your first trail ultra marathon!
SOLO OR RELAY OPTIONS
Choose to run the nine hours solo or as part of a relay in the Mannschaft (Team) Division in which you and up to two of your fellow masochists relay around Schuetzen as a team. One runner at a time. Teams can break up loops/mileage/time however they’d like.
Low registration fee covers the basics for the race including abundant aid at the start/finish as well as hot “real” food and tasty cold beverages, a chance to earn the coveted Schuetzen Spanker (50k+ solo, 50mi+ relay), a custom race shirt, constant kicks in the ass to get back out for “just one more loop” and a guaranteed donation to Schuetzen Park who privately manage and maintain this beautiful gem of a park! To date we’ve donated close to $10,000 to the park on behalf of this event alone!
The event this year is a proud member of the No Coast Trail Series! For more details and to sign up for free go to: No Coast Trail Series. Check out all the other member races and help grow trail and ultra running on the No Coast!
Course Description
The course is a beautiful and challenging 0.85mi trail loop that showcases the German historic site’s natural beauty and contains about 125-150ft. of elevation gain per loop. The loop is mostly dirt/chipped rock single track trail with stair sections and some short sections of grass. Make no mistake, Schuetzen NEIN! will bring you to your knees.
Weather could be anything this time of year and the event will go on rain, shine or otherwise.
