Race Info
Virgil’s is traditionally one of, if not the hardest, 100-mile courses in the Northeast. It’s flown largely under the radar in terms of the big stages, partly due to a hiatus. Though it’s back, Virgil Mountain is something to be reckoned with.
There will be three aid stations with Hyl Hydration as our hydration fuel and Huma Gels, the normal ultra-running staples like PB&J, pretzels, chips, some candy, and fruit, and of course some options for the vegan and GF community of runners.
Pacers must pick up a “pacer bracelet” before getting on course with their runner. Pacers are allowed after 50 miles or darkness, whichever comes first. Pacers cannot carry your gear for you. Crew can only offer support within aid station areas.
