Plan Ghost Train 30-Hour Ultramarathon

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

Listed edition: Oct 17, 2026 – Oct 18, 2026
Format: Fixed-Distance
Distance: 100 mi within 30 hours (15-mile out-and-backs)
Local start time: 9:00 AM Saturday
Duration / cutoff: 30 hours (hard cutoff at 3:00 PM Sunday; no finishing times after that). Only completed out-and-backs count, and at least 15 miles is needed for a finish time. Laps 1–6 are 15 miles; lap 7 is 10 miles to reach 100; later laps return to 15 miles.
Crew and pacers: Crews may help only at Camp Tevya and the Milford DPW; Power Lines has no crew or spectator access. Pacers are allowed after 30 miles or after dark, whichever comes first, and for the whole race for runners 60 and older or with a disability. Pacers don’t register, and only one may run with a runner at a time.
Drop bags: One bag can stay at Camp Tevya and another can be sent to the Milford DPW. Milford bags come back to Camp Tevya after 1:00 PM Sunday.
