Runners ready?? Start your watch and climb aboard the airplane for the ride up to 13,500 feet where you will leap out of a moving plane to begin your run. The 120mph, 2 mile (approx 10k feet) free-fall will last 50 seconds before you pull the parachute on your tandem skydive and quietly and calmly float (3,000 feet) back down to the safety of earth. Upon landing you will immediately climb out of your parachute and begin running to complete the world's first ever "Skydiving Ultra"!
The course is a flat and fast 3.5 mile loop around the dropzone on a very runnable mix of 15% dirt/gravel and 85% grass that takes you through local farming fields, along canals and offer plenty of opportunity to mingle with wildlife! Whether you're running the 5k or the 100k, we guarantee you'll have the time of your life!
The specific logistics of getting a large group of people in the air and into a race such as this is very challenging. Start times and specifics might change slightly. Camping, bathrooms and showers will be available on site. We will also be able to offer a "skydive only" option for friends or family that might want to come and jump and not run. We will have games and activities for the kids and non-runners as well. It's set on a contained grassy lot with no traffic so you can bring the family, some lawn chairs and spectate the landing zone and runners. Makes for a perfect day...
