Participants of this race portion will be joining the 100 mile runners. “Death Division” runners will start Saturday, June 1st at 6:00 a.m. and have 24 hours to complete the 100 miles. At the end of each 10 mile lap participants will have to complete a challenge before moving on to their next lap. These challenges will be similar to those encountered during a Death Race and will be physical, mental, or both. The participant with the most laps completed by Sunday, June 2nd at 6:00 a.m. will be the winner. If more than one participant is on the same number of laps completed, the first one to come back and finish the lap’s challenge receives higher standing. *Same cost as 100 mile ultra.
