Registration can be completed at Ultrasignup. Early registration is encouraged as spaces are limited. Also, it helps us order the right numbers and sizes of tee shirts. 

The races start and finish at 15200 220th Ave. If you know the area, it’s always been PT Plus, but it’s now a Habitat for Humanity. 

Parking on race day is at Trinity Church, just across the street from the starting line.

For packet pickup parking on Friday, you can park at 15200 220th. 

There are six stations out on the course where you can refuel. You can also have a drop bag brought to any station you’d like. Every station has a wide variety of great food and drink: Gatorade and water, plus gels, chips, Oreos, peanut butter and jelly, pretzels, and other appropriate trail foods. Plus, every station has its own unique theme, whether that’s Halloween at Hungerford or Homecoming…often with its own special trail treats.

15-Miler racers will hit stations A, B, F, and then A again — making 4 stations all together. 

The 45K crew will hit A, B, C, D, E, F, and A again — a total of 7 stations.

The 50M maniacs will see A, B, C, D, E, F, A, B, C, D, E, F, and A one last time. That's 13 stations. 

Stations are between 3 and 5 miles apart, so you’ll never be too far from another pit stop.

Portajohns will be positioned at aid stations:  A, C, and D. For help with all this, check out the Maps!

Your registration includes the always-stylish event t-shirt, all the fuel you need during the race, our unique wooden finishers medal (if you finish), as well as post-race refreshments. Anyone who finishes the 50-miler between sunup and sundown gets the coveted Hungerford Hiking Stick (or if you've already got yours, another notch on your previously-earned stick). 

We typically also have bonus items unique to the particular year, and/or from some of our race partners. We tend to roll with a “pick your swag” out of the options we have laid out.  There are also prior year shirts and/or swag available for purchase at discounted pricing.

The top three finishers, male and female (i.e. podium folks), overall will receive the chainsaw-carved Sassafras ‘Leaf of Glory’ — the finest trophy in all the land. Age group winners (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+) will receive a cool commemorative mug or pint glass - depending on the year. 

Hungerford is all about variety. You’ll see hills and flat areas. You’ll be deep in the woods, then out in the sun. The terrain shifts from dirt to sand to grave, and back again.. We have fire roads, two-track, and some nice sections of single-track. For many, the highlight of the course is The Powerlines, a lovely and equally torturous stretch of hills on soft surfaces that you’ll be more than proud to have conquered. It’s generally recommended to wear trail running shoes for added traction and stability, although we’ve seen people be successful in all sorts…even carbon racers!  Shoe “gators” aren’t particularly necessary, but we leave that to individual discretion. 

For safety and insurance reasons, dogs are not allowed on the course. Also, although many people find dogs adorbs... one of the RDs is scared of dogs. We won’t tell you which one. 

Additionally: dogs near the start/finish area must be leashed.
