Free. You can start with nothing.
One lap of the same park loop as the 50 Miler, starting at 11:55 pm. The cutoffs in place for the 50 Miler apply.
Two laps of a trail loop through Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia. The 50 Miler starts at 6:00 pm, so most of the course is run in the dark, and a one-loop night run starts at 11:55 pm. The course is mostly singletrack with some fire road, with several bridge and park road crossings.
In the days leading up to and during World War II, the Park, its trails, and Cabin Camps were the secretive training sites of the Office of Strategic Services, the predecessor of the CIA.
One person has been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.
No account, and nothing to cancel.
What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.
I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
