About the Event

Tackle one of the most unique and demanding ultra challenges on the East Coast at The Delmarva Ultra Challenge (DUC) 100K set for Friday, 6 February 2026 in Pocomoke, Maryland. This extreme event requires qualified runners to complete two 50K trail runs back-to-back: a secret night course starting at 9:00 PM Friday, followed by the traditional Algonquin 50K course on Saturday morning, with combined times crowning the champion. Limited to only 30 vetted participants selected by the 'Race Dictator', it's a true test of endurance, night running skill, and mental fortitude reserved for the most experienced ultrarunners.

The DUC prides itself on its high-risk, high-reward ethos and old-fashioned challenge, stripping away predictability and demanding absolute self-reliance. For those who earn a spot, it offers the rare opportunity to pioneer an undisclosed course and earn the formidable title of a DUC finisher in the wild landscapes of the Delmarva Peninsula.
