The Durt 50K

Description:

With COVID-19 still being a problem the 2021 DURT will remain a virtual event. You can run the course for your distance any time in the month of May to be a finisher and receive race swag and finisher item. Like last year there will be a supported run on the course for Saturday May 1st, water and other kinds of aid station items (soda, chips, cookies and such) will be at the aid station locations.
If you are not able to run on the actual race course that is fine, run your distance wherever you can.
The Warriors Keep thewarriorskeep.org will be the veterans charity that we will be supporting again this year. Last year $800 dollars was donated by the DURT, thank you to all who participated in last years event.

DURT (Danskin Ultra Run Trail)

Come run a beautiful and challenging trail race on the Danskin Mountains OHV trail system. All distances are on a mix of single and dual track trails, with fantastic views and loads of wildflowers. This is going to be more of an old school type of race where the course is not marked every 100 feet with aid stations every couple of miles. The course will be marked at every intersection and there will be aid stations, you might just need more than a single handheld bottle to get between them.

50k Start 7:00 am
20 mile start 8:00 am
10 mile start 8:30 am

Packet pickup will start 30 minutes before the start of each distance and there will be a short briefing before the start of each distance.

50K

The 50k will be a combination of the 10 mile and then 20 mile loop. There is 5000+ feet of elevation gain and many creek crossings. There will be 3 aid stations and a possible water drop depending on temps, see below for info. Poles are not required but highly recommended for the 20 mile loop, there is a 1200 foot climb in about 1.5 miles.

20 Miler

This is a twentyish mile loop with 2 out and back sections. There will be one aid station at about mile 12, drop bags and crew at this aid station. Poles are not required but highly recommended for this loop, there is a 1200 foot climb in about 1.5 miles that has some very steep sections. Don’t bother trying to keep your feet dry on this loop, there are many creek crossings some knee deep, but not fast flowing water.

10 Miler

This is a tenish mile loop, with 2000+ feet of climbing 3/4 of that is in the first 3 miles. With the steepness of some of the climbs, trekking poles would not be a bad idea. This loop does not have any water crossings, but it does have fantastic views. There will be one aid station at mile 4.2, no drop bag but crew allowed.
