Cacapon 12 Hour Challenge Trail Run

Course

Scenic single-track trail, five mile loop, moderately to very technical. A few road crossings on lightly-traveled park roads. Some stream crossings are possible, depending on recent rainfall. Trail is very well-marked and maintained. This trail would be classified (4,4) by the Ultrarunning.com scale. Approximately 750 feet elevation change per loop. This trail will challenge the most seasoned runner! SUBJECT TO CHANGE PENDING COVID-19 DEVELOPMENTS: NO AID STATIONS, ALL RUNNERS ARE SELF-CREWED! WE ARE WAIT-LIST ONLY FOR NOW DUE TO ALL THE UNCERTAINTY WITH HOLDING LIVE EVENTS IN THE COVID ERA.

12 Hour Relay

Relay teams are welcome, any number of runners per team. All relays are just for fun and bragging rights, no awards will be given (subject to change if we have increased relay entries). If you are interested in signing up for the relay division, please contact RD at [email protected] for more information. Cost is same per runner as individual.

Awards

Very nice hand-crafted awards from a local artisan to top three men and women. All solo runners completing 10 loops will become members of the Cacapon 50 Mile Club and receive a commemorative pint glass to recognize this achievement.

COVID-19 UPDATE

We are still going to be allowed to have the race but there will be significant changes from previous years. Due to the uncertainty and late event confirmation there will be no shirts or swag and awards will be cash. All runners will receive an aid packet prior to the race and there will not be traditional aid stations. We encourage runners to bring your favorite nutrition from home as well, particularly if you have special requirements. Stay tuned to your email and our Facebook page for further updates.

2021 UPDATE WITH ALL THE UNCERTAINTY STILL LOOMING WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE 2021 EVENT A WAIT-LIST ONLY FOR NOW. IF WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE THE RACE I EXPECT IT TO BE SIMILAR TO 2020 WITH NO COMMUNAL AID AND NO POST-RACE MEAL...ALL RUNNERS WILL BE SELF-CREWED AND RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN NEEDS. WE WILL PROVIDE SOME GELS AND DRINK MIXES AT PACKET PICKUP THAT YOU CAN USE.
