Plan tBunk Endurance Challenge 200 Mile

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

Edition notes: The 14th edition started at 7:00 AM Central on Friday, November 6, 2026, and the 200-mile course closes at 7:00 PM on Sunday, November 8. The 150-mile race started with it. The 100-mile and 50-mile races start at 7:00 AM Saturday, the night 50K at 8:00 PM Saturday and the day 50K at 7:00 AM Sunday, and a 15K fun run can start any time from 2:00 PM Friday to noon Sunday. No live tracking was found: the RunRace race-day page had no checkpoints set up on November 7, and the organizer posts results as one image per distance on its blog after the race. The 2025 result pages went up on November 10, 2025, the day after that race ended. DUV lists a 48-hour limit for the 200; the organizer gives 60 hours, and three of the four 2025 finishers took longer than 48 hours. Sources also differ on climbing per loop: the race page gives 750–850 ft of gain, the organizer’s UltraSignup text 1,700 ft of “elevation change” and DUV 1,500 ft.
