About Ultras
Individual Ultras
For individuals seeking a break from the ordinary, our selection of races along these iconic ocean roads from 50 Km (31 miles) to 100 miles includes one just for you! For KEYS100, runners are required to have their own support crew. At Daytona 100, most runners have the option to run with or without a crew. All are fully supported by volunteers at aid stations placed strategically along the route, providing water, ice, electrolyte products, a complement of food and much more. For both events, race marshals patrol active areas of the course for safety and to enforce race rules, and an active medical team provides additional support, as needed. At the finish line you receive your well-earned finisher medal and coveted belt buckles for those completing the individual 100-mile race. And, at both races, unique awards are given at special post-race presentations to many of the top finishers. Runners and their supporters are encouraged to stay and relax with food and a beverage or two, and swap yarns with old and new ultra-friends. At the finish line, it's R&R time!
Team Relays
If you enjoy training with friends, you will love ultramarathon distance relay races. Each team member runs just a portion of the total mileage. For hundreds of thousands of people who have participated in half or full marathons and are looking for something different, the team relay is a competitive format that average and elite runners alike can do and thoroughly enjoy. Team members take turns as the active runner while the others ride and recover in the team support vehicle to await their turns. Our relay races cover 100 miles or 50 miles. The fastest teams will complete the 100-mile distance in 10-12 hours; others may take up to 20 or more. A major feature of the UltraSports format is that running segments are variable in length: the team decides how many “legs” each member will run; runners do not have to run the same number of segments and don't have to run in any particular order. Teams create their own race strategies rather than being given fixed leg assignments, and may even modify their plan during the race if weather or other conditions dictate. Ask our race veterans and they will tell you that this element adds a lot to the excitement and fun on race day.
Next Steps
Pick your race, grab your crew or group of running friends or help your company or organization create a team. Tell your local high school or college track or cross country team that an UltraSports race is waiting for them in South Florida. And, bring your family to cheer your success and enjoy the beauty of these Atlantic beach destinations. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line of these exciting running events.
