The Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races
On November 21st you will have a chance to see what you are made of, physically and mentally. The 50K, 50 Mile, and 100 Mile distances will be UTMB index races. This is the 8th running of the Stuffed Turkey Endurance Races @ Jester Park, Granger, Iowa. 100% trail, small rolling hills, a good stretch of flat which could be fast, could be extremely tough - depending on the weather (it is Iowa).
10 Mile, 50K, 50 Mile, and 100 Mile options. Shirt included. Medal included. Pain... depends on how you train!
Aid station at mile 5 and mile 10 start/ finish area. The start is at Jester Park Equestrian Center, Jester Park, Granger, Iowa. 455 feet of elevation gain per loop for a total of 4,550 feet ascent and descent over 100 miles.
Those in the 100 miler, can pick up a pacer at the start of the 6th lap, mile 50. You can use multiple pacers, but each has to complete one 10-mile loop with you. You may not run with dogs, bicycle pacers, or other non-human assists (with the exception of those with physical or mental handicaps, which will be approved on a case-by-case basis). This is an event you won't forget!
If you want to guarantee you will get a shirt you must sign up by Nov. 1, 2022. No guarantee after that date as we have to process orders but we do order a few extra in each size.
CUPLESS EVENT - We will not supply paper cups at aid stations as part of helping to keep the park clean. Bring your own cups, running bottles or packs for filling at aid stations. Aid stations will be fully stocked again but be sure to bring your own personal nutrition if you need it. We keep it very good but very basic (pizza, pop, rice and beans, potatoes, Gatorade, GU, etc.)
Packet pickup: will be Thursday before the race at Fleet Feet Des Moines, 521 E Locust St, Des Moines, IA 50309. You can also pick up your packet before your race.
Orders for shirts, finishers medals, etc will go in Nov. 1. No guarantee of shirts and swag after that date. Day of race entries are NOT accepted, Entries after Nov. 1 are not guaranteed a shirt.
