24 Hours at Jackalope Jam
Ultramarathon #098
#JJ24HR
Another
weekend and another last minute signup. I watched my online notifications as
the 100hr participants started running on Wednesday, then again on Thursday
with the 72hr runners. I saw the social media feed of Trail Racing Over Texas
and it got me thinking about maybe hopping into the weekend. So I did!
Jackalope Jam is a very simple race and it is more about the atmosphere and just a personal challenge. I mean the course is a simple 0.75 Mi out and 0.75 Mi on the same ranch road. A great benefit of this event is you are constantly immersed with all the other runners as everyone is always passing each other. If you are ever in Texas in February and need a trail running party this is the place to be. Most runners camp out in their vehicles on the row of the course with their tents and multiday setups of food and drinks. Many people even decorate their aid stations with lights and whatnot. It is truly a Jam out at 7IL Ranch.
