Date and time
Saturday, January 10, 2026
9:00 a.m. Start
Location
Start and finish at the intersection of Blewett Falls Road and Mini Meadows Lane, Rockingham, NC. Just put “Mini Meadows Lane, Rockingham, NC” into your map app. It's a short spur road with no street numbers.
The course
A wheel-measured 2 ½ mile out and back. All rural paved road. Rolling, flat, downhill, and uphill. You know I like hills and Acid Hill is a champ among hills. There are no houses or dogs on the course to worry you and very light traffic. Run or walk, your choice.
Aid
I'll have one aid station that you will pass going out at about 1 ½ miles and 3 ½ miles on your return. Water only. It may be self-serve. Water only at the finish. You are free to bring your favorite recovery beverage.
Timing
Dan Paige and his laptop.
Awards
None. No shirts, medals, ribbons, etc. Nothing.
Registration
Online only at Ultrasignup. I will be buying insurance and a portajon for this event. I have no sponsors, so your entry fee pays the costs. Entry fee now through December 31 is $15. Entry fee starting January 1, 2026, is $50. If I have money left after costs, I will bring pizza.
