GENERAL RACE and COURSE DESCRIPTION

Every day dozens of runners park their cars in the parking lot of Lt. J.C. Stone Field. The field is used for local sporting events, and was named for Lt. Joseph Charles Stone. Known as J.C. to his friends and family.  J.C. enlisted to serve the USA in the Viet Nam War and gave his life for his country when the small village where he was engaged was overrun by the Viet Cong. His legacy is one of bravery. This run is in memory of J.C. and all the brave soldiers who have fought for our country. The course starts at the North Park Boat House with a short out and back, then proceeds to complete 6 5-mile loops around scenic North Park  Lake. About 2.5 miles from the Boat House runners will pass Lt. J.C. Stone Field. This 5-mile loop has been the home to many exciting Ultras in the past. This course is the same course as the former GNC 50K/50Mile/100K race. UltraRunners from all over the country ran this course as for several years it was host to several National Championship Road Races. The course is awesome. Asphalt running trail that follows the shoreline of North Park  Lake. It will be very well marked and will have volunteers stationed along the course so that you can focus on running and leave the logistics to us.  Challenging but very runable. We hope you enjoy this race.
