“The course was fairly well marked at turns, lots of arrows and flagging, although I would say not heavy on the confidence marking.”

At the No Business 100, the runner narrowly made the aid-station time limit amid rain, mud, and steep climbs. By continuing to move all the way, the runner finished in 32 hours and 21 minutes.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Average temperature: 15°C — favorable conditions for runners in Jamestown in October.

The key factor is the wait before the start.

If you start while chilled, you may spend the first 5km just warming up.

Ultras are decided by fueling and foot care, not speed.

Break in your shoes and socks well before race day, and if there is a night section, bring spare headlamp batteries.

The start is early at 07:00.

Counting backward from wake-up, breakfast, and travel, staying start line is more convenient.

Registration closes on October 22, 2026.

Times are local to Jamestown. Check the latest official information before the race.
