Athletic Equation will be hosting a 12-Hour ATR on 20 SEPT 2008. We will be building off of our successful inaugural event. Just over 70 runners (Solo and Team) run over 2,200 miles. Next year’s 12-HR ATR will be combined with the 24-HR ATR to form the 2008 AE MINI Ultra Trail Series.
The 12-HR ATR will be held in Prince William Forest Park, www.nps.gov/prwi just outside of Triangle, VA in Prince William County. The Park is 17,000+ acres and has over 40 miles of trails. The course will be on a DIFFERENT set of trails than our 24-Hour ATR. The course will be a 6.5 mile looped figure eight (8). It is designed to challenge the novice and experienced trail runners alike. It will be 100% trails, some single track, and some fire road. The terrain will have undulating hills with some nice ascents and descents to keep trail runners on their game and keep them honest. There will be rocks; there will be roots, dirt, and mud if it rains.
There will be two aid stations. The primary aid station will be the Start/Finish. It will have a plentiful array of sustenance (food) to cover everyone through out the event. The second aid station will ONLY have H2O.
OUR GOALS
- Have a environment where experienced and novice trail runners alike can enjoy the safety and camaraderie of endurance trail running.
