Compete against others on a real 50k trail run but with a virtual twist. You pick when you want to take on the miles. In full compliance with COVID-19 recommendations, you can head to the wilderness and take on some of the best technical trail running in the area in your own little bubble.

Sign up and receive a map with route and cue sheet you must follow. Also included is the rental of one of our amazing GPS trackers to keep you company, record your splits, and clock your final time. Fire up the tracker, pass through the starting location to start your clock, and then run the course.  Route, splits, and time are recorded by the tracker and uploaded in real time to our leaderboard. Your clock automatically stops when you reach the designated finish area. The leaderboard will be ongoing and fluid as other participants complete the challenge, so you can see how you stacked up against others, compare splits, and track final times.

While you run around the woods, your friends and family can follow your adventure from their designated quarantine location through our tracking page.

Click here for live tracking. Participants have between June 1 and June 24, 2020 to register and complete the course. You can see who has already completed the course on the leaderboard, replay routes, and watch the live route of anyone currently out in the woods living it up at the QuaRUNtine 50K!
