There will be one winner and everyone else wonderfully will receive a DNF. The winner - and only true finisher - is the last person running by themself. We will NOT be crossing any roads and this is a self-sufficient race. The route and start location are a little different than last year. We will be starting from Horsford Pond, which is a few feet from where we were last year. The route map is further down this page and the start/finish location is the Claxton Field quarry area, located across the street from the Needham Recycling Center on Central Ave. The route is 50% fire roads, 30% rail trail, 15% grass, &lt;5% single track and 165 feet of total ascent/descent. Logistics: Bring whatever you need to run your loops. We will provide water, race logistics, and a great cheering section. Race fee: Only $30. Cash or Venmo. No refunds, no credit cards. Race fee: You can still sign up on race day but come early. Race fee on Race Day will be $40. Race Start: 8:00 am Sharp We are expecting around 170 people to attend and try their hand at this incredible race format. All the runners had a great time last year and we would like to replicate it for Sept 28th. Veteran Ultra runners and newbies are all welcomed. Please reach out to Bill Gallagher if you would like to be a regular sponsor for this amazing Ultra.
