Description

The Second Annual Cremator Ultra 50 Mile Endurance Race was originally created our of necessity... necessity for a mid-summer training event to prepare for early Fall Ultra events. After several glasses of wine and a "how tough can we make it" conversation, the Cremator was born!

Summer running is in fact dangerous and should not be attempted without proper training. Previous distance running is mandatory and the support of a responsible Crew Chief is required and is key to finishing the race. The race begins at 7:00am and has a 14 hour cut off. The average temperatures in Beaufort, SC in July peaks at 98 degrees with a typical heat index of well over 110 degrees. We moved the race from Hilton Head to Beaufort this year, as there there was "too much shade on the course" last year.

Runners and Crew Chiefs will be responsible for signing in at each check-point and leaving PRIOR to the cut off time. Runners may be supported on foot, but not from a moving vehicle. The course consists of two 25 mile loops on bike paths with four aid stations along the course that will each be visited twice.

Each year we allow a small field of Relay Team made up of 4 or less runners compete in a seprate division of the Cremator Ultra. We will double our teams this year allowing 10 Teams. These spots will fill up quickly and we will not be adding any additional this year.
