Short Circuit at the Buzz Ultramarathon
When:
March 29, 2025 - 7:00 AM
WHERE
511 Jewel City Blvd. - Meadowbrook, WV
Course
This unique ultramarathon challenge takes place on a flat, paved quarter-mile loop, offering runners the opportunity to accumulate as many miles as possible over 12 hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The short loop allows for frequent access to rest, bathrooms, water, and snacks every quarter mile, making it a great option for first-time ultramarathoners. However, the loop format also presents a unique challenge, as the temptation to pause and take breaks grows with every lap. As the miles add up, runners will need to balance the ease of frequent stops with the mental and physical endurance required to push on toward their mileage goals.
