Kingwood Ultras
September 11 – September 13
Frenchtown, NJ – The Kingwood Ultras are a weekend long trail running event which allows runners to chose either a set distance goal (26.2 miles, 50K, 50 miles, 100K, or 100 miles) or go as many miles as they can in a specific amount of time (6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours).
Runners, their family and friends can set up a small camp at the race base camp with all the other runners and race staff and use their camp to support their efforts. The race base camp will serve as the one and only aid station.
The Kingwood Ultra is held at Horseshoe Bend Park roughly three miles from the quaint riverside town of Frenchtown, New Jersey.
The 2-mile course winds through field and forest with several small stream crossings. There are plenty of roots and rocks, so trail running shoes are definitely in order. Each 2-mile loop has approx. 300 feet of elevation gain. The trail is well marked with mileage markers every 1/4 mile. Glow sticks and reflective ribbons will mark the trail from sunset to sunrise.
