FARM DAZE!

Bring your friends and come hang out country backwoods style at the ELEVENTH annual FarmDaze ultra! This race is a labor of love from formerly local ultrarunners who want an excuse to come home and share a weekend with friends and family on a beautiful property while enjoying some good brews, low country boil, BBQ, and live local musicians... oh and some RUNNING ! Located on a pristine and private 350 acre grassfed beef family farm in Brooklet, Georgia, Farm Daze is an ultra event inspired by the best races that combine the LOVE of ultrarunning with the LOVE of our community. The race will feature a 6 hour, 12 hour, and 24 event with all three races starting at 9 am. The course is a 2ish mile trail loop crossing through grass pasture and shaded woods with a few roots but not technical. The trail is flat and wide enough to pass at most points. There will be 1 main aid station along the route. The manned aid station will have hot food including pizza, burgers, quesadillas, etc, runner snacks and fuel (salty potatoes, broth soup, and gels), water and a sports drink. Pacers allowed. Families allowed, NO DOGS though. The race will be limited to 220 participants. There will be overall and runner up awards for the top finishers in the 24 hour event. Also awards for the top finisher in the 6 and 12 hour categories. Runners will receive finishers medals for their individual events for completing at least 50k in 6 hours, 50 miles in 12 hours, and 85 miles in 24 hours. Buckles will be awarded to anyone who completes at least 100 miles in 24 hours. The first 10 runners to complete the 100 mile distance will be guaranteed buckles on site- anyone 100+ mile runners after the first 10 will receive their buckles within a few weeks of the event. Runners and crew are encouraged to camp for the weekend, we have plenty of space! Nearest town with stores and hotels is Statesboro about a 20 minute drive away. There will be space along the course to camp as well as to set up personal aid stations for your runner. Running water and restroom facilities (port-a-johns) will be on site.

We started this in 2024 and it's become a favorite part of the weekend. With the help of a few friends, we're coming up with some more new games to play. Feel free to send any absurd game ideas our way! Every year we are asked about food for crew and pacers. We're happy to feed friends and family as we want this event to be inclusive to all interested! However, it is a little tough to plan for that. We're asking for $40 donations from those of you that are just coming to hang out for the weekend.
