Made the trek to London, ON this morning for the That Dam Hill race. Signed up for the full marathon and was able to change to the 24 hour race so I could reach ultra marathon distance.
The 8 AM start this morning consisted of the half, full, and 24 hour. There is also a 12 hour race that starts at 8 PM. The route is 2.25 km and consists of running the loop enough times to reach the needed distance. The first loop is a partial distance.
In total, I ran the loop 22 times. Distance = 51.19 K. Finish time 7:55:45.
Below photos show highlights of a loop:
