and at K100 (mile 62,2) on August 02, 04:00 AM - after 20 hours).

You will cross some minor public roads. These roads won’t be closed for traffic during the run. You will cross the roads at your own risk. Please be careful. See the detailed course description.

Mostly dry and warm in August, though rain showers may occur. Temperatures (given in °F) may vary from the 60s to the 80s during daytime, and the 50s and 70s during the night.

Please let us know your full name, address, t-shirt size, name of relative or person to contact in case of emergency, and a few details on your ultra running experience (race, time, year).
We also like to know your special needs or preferences in sports drinks or food during a run. If we know them, the aid stations can be better equipped for you.

We will send you detailed course maps (PDF-files) on request.

Each loop starts and ends at Sibbesse’s soccer field. This is the major aid station, and the only one with a full-time service. We are going to have manned aid stations on the course, designated to provide you with sports drinks and a good choice of food, too. Be prepared to be well-equipped on the course in between the stations (e.g. double bottle belt).

You will find a restroom and a shower at the major aid station at the soccer field.

Give you name to the staff when checking in/out at each station for proper timekeeping.

Pacing is allowed beginning with the 3^rd loop at Km 100. Pacers must sign in at one of the aid stations und must run at least the whole leg to the next station. Runners of 60 years and older at race day may have pacers for the whole run. No muling. Please try to organize your pacer by yourself. Please let us know in advance if you want us to get a pacer for you. There will be no entry fee for the pacer as long as he is not pacing the whole run.

This is all about you and the 100 miles! So try to finish the race and enjoy the effort. But if you have to drop out for any reason, try to contact an aid station (cell phone numbers are given during the briefing). If you are injured, let a fellow runner know so he/she can give the information to the next station. We encourage everyone to help injured runners in the best possible way. In a case of emergency, we will bring you back to Sibbesse (or hospital, if necessary). If you quit for other reasons, try to walk back or forward to the next manned station and let the staff know.
