Running, crewing, pacing or still deciding

How NavRun helps with Sugar Badger 50/50 and Half Fourteen hours, and five stations with a clock on each.

You are running it

You reach Brodhead, mile 24.9, before its 1:00pm cutoff, and you already knew that this morning.

An arrival time for all 9 stations, worked out from your own training.

Start free →

You are pacing

You are at Trail Rd. Aid Station (return), mile 29, warm and fed, and you know you have 21 miles ahead of you.

The same sheet says when they reach you.

You are deciding

You find out Sugar Badger 50/50 and Half is months of work away, not years, and you enter.

Put in a race you have already run. NavRun shows you where this one sits from where you are.

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.

Where this came from. Every fact on this page records its source and when we last checked it: 144 sources for this race. Hover a source link to read the sentence it came from.

37% of what we track for a course is filled in. The rest says "not checked yet" rather than guessing.

Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.

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.
