Rundure 8 Hour Ultra - Crown Point, IN

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have been given the go ahead to hold an 8 hour timed ultra in the Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point, IN. I haven't worked out all of the details yet, but here are some points so far:

1. There will be a 8 Hour Ultra on 1.5 mile paved loop through fairgrounds
2. There will be a 1.5 mile sprint race just prior to the start of the Ultra.
3. There will be a relay division for teams of 2-3.
4. Proceeds will benefit local charities directly or through Rundure Foundation (if set up by then)
5. More to come.....including sponsors, special invites, promos, etc....

I want to be able to bring ultrarunning to NW Indiana as well as open up this race for people of all distances by having the sprint option and relay. Not to mention, an 8 hour race allows for ample time for someone to get a Marathon in without going to Chicago.

Thanks.
