Freedom Park New Years Ultra – December 31, 2011 – January 1, 2012 – Morganton, NC
Ring in the New Year with flair with one of these race options at Freedom Park in Morganton. NEW: A marathon and half-marathon option has been added to this New Year’s classic. A great way to get that New Year’s Day long run in.
From the race organizers:
The 2011-2012 Freedom Park New Year’s Ultra Run is a 24 Hour timed run held annually at Freedom Park in Morganton, North Carolina. Shorter time options – 12 hour and 6 hour – are also available for the slightly less ambitious.
The Freedom Park course is a smooth asphalt path that rolls gently around the perimeter of the course. The course measures 1,586.7 meters, varies 19 feet in elevation (from high to low), and is USA Track & Field certified.
Enjoy a bounty of food (hot & cold), course support, and comraderie in a quiet country setting, and ring in the New Year with runners joining us from across the U.S.A. We can’t think of a better way to close out 2011 and welcome in 2012. We hope you will, too.
