So I am still looking for 1 or 2 ultra-marathons to run this year. I had several on my list that I wanted to do but unfortunately, they all fell on dates that I am already busy. I still have a few that I am pondering but have yet to pull the trigger on.
24 Hour Run at Sunset Hill Park - Valparaiso, IN - June 21st -22nd
This Run looks interesting because there is no minimum required distance. It's a 5k loop that you run as many times as you can in 24 hours. This is a no pressure run that is great for training and race prep.
Potowatomi Trail Run 50 Miler - Pekin, IL - April 5-6
This is supposed to be a somewhat easy course and great for beginner Ultra-Marathoners(which I am). I need to make a decision soon though because the race is in a few weeks.
Chicago Ultra - Chicago, IL - April 5th
A very Flat course along the Lakefront in Chicago. With a 7 hour time limit, I would have to push myself for this 50k, but should be able to finish without a problem. Again, need to make a decision soon as its the same weekend as the Potowatomi.
So I need to figure out if I am going to run any of these three for the Spring. I am hoping to get in a 100 miler in the fall but I have to find one that doesn't conflict with other races I have already signed up for and within a reasonable distance of Chicago. Any suggestions would be welcome.
