2024 Race Recap: Coming Soon!

2023 was a record breaking day for the 6 hour event with Mother Nature playing nice and kicking off the start of both races at 50 degrees. Nine records were broken and they were all in the 6 Hour event!! A brief overcast gave some midday relief for the 12 hour event as temps topped out over 80 degrees at 2 p.m. Runners enjoyed the iced coffee (and “good ice”) from Impressed Coffee and fresh cut fruit, PB&J’s, Pinwheels, and all the sugar from B&B Foods as they made their loops through home base.

Hawthorn Half Day Relay & Ultra continues to draw competitiors hoping to break records in both solo and team events. With exciting races to the finish, and down to the second efforts - records were smashed in 2023!
