From the organizer

Run a 2.25 mile (Approx) grass, mud, and gravel path around an abandoned golf course (the Gospel Hill Golf Club course owned by Penn State Behrend).  Time?  From Sunrise to Sunset on the longest Saturday of the year!

Half of every registration will be donated to the Behrend Cross Country program.

This is a self-supported ultra run, very similar to the ERC Personal Endurance Classic.

Course is a 2.25 mile loop.  Expect some mud, a little side-hill, plenty of grass, a couple of hills (one of which you WILL walk down).  Shade, open fields, wildflowers, and wildlife.

Do as many laps as you want.
