The DUC 2020

The Delmarva Ultra Challenge (The DUC) is a running event that takes place in conjunction with The Algonquin 50k and only runners currently signed up for The ALQ50k will be given the opportunity to enter. To complete the challenge runners must complete an all night 50k run before the ALQ50k and then complete the ALQ50k. Very important: a DNF of the First leg of the DUC (The all night 50k on the night of February 8th) is a DNF for the total DUC, which includes the ALQ. The DUC requires your trust in The Race Dictator and General Gabe. You will not know the course before Friday February 8th. Very little information about this race will be available. The less you know the better. Trust us. You will love it. We have created the course, set up the logistics, have all the volunteers and aid stations are organized and ready. This has been in the works for over a year. What you will get is an epic overnight adventure that is unknown, challenging, fun and worth tackling. The aid stations will be well stocked and will be sure to keep you going. What you will not get is... lost, a huge cheering crowd, much/if any sleep, or a lot of whistles and bells. This is a tight-lipped, crazy adventure. It is not set up for first time Ultra runners. No one you know knows anything about this race.
