About
the STUNT 100
Course
description
In
its 9th
edition in 2013, the STUNT 100 mile run is to be run on a new course.
Here
is what you still get – the basics:
A
100 mile run in the scenic countryside around Sibbesse
The
course is divided into four different, consecutive legs with the
soccer field in Sibbesse as a “race hub”
A
low-key event with friendly, dedicated staff; and a family-like
atmosphere among everybody.
Here
is what’s new in 2013, what you also get:
More
single trails
-
More
vertical gain
Even
more of the scenic countryside, more of those hills
Greater
distances between aid stations
Fewer
asphalted stretches
Fewer
briars and stinging nettles, less undergrowth
In
general: a more demanding course
The
course of the STUNT 100 Mile Run is divided into four different
back-to-back legs with the soccer field in Sibbesse functioning as
its “race hub”. Despite short sections on asphalted roads or
pathes, the STUNT is chiefly a trail run. Most portions are on single
trails and jeep / forest roads, leading up and down steep creek
valleys, over rolling hills, and alongside beautiful fields and
meadows.
1st
leg: Trailrunner’s Paradise. 48.7 km (30.3 mi), 1,305 meters (4,281
ft) of vertical gain.
Mostly
in the Hildesheim forest area to the north of Sibbesse. Lots of
trails and ups and downs.
2nd
leg: Running the Moguls. 54 km (33.5 mi), 1,525 meters (5,003 ft) of
vertical gain.
Through
the woods and over the hills to the south and southwest of Sibbesse.
Get nice overlooks from the top of the “Seven hills” above the
Leine river valley.
3rd
leg: The Külf Mountain Traverse. 37.8 km (23.5 mi), 789 meters
(2,588 ft) of vertical gain.
The
night ride: Even more hills; a steep ravine; and a beautiful, long
single trail traversing the Külf mountain.
4th
leg: The Capper. 20.4 km (12,7 mi), 441 meters (1,447 ft) of vertical
gain
