About the Race

The Umstead 100 is a race consisting of eight laps around a 12.5-mile loop in the William B. Umstead State Park. The first four laps (50 miles) must be done alone, after which an accompanying pacer is permitted.

The race starts at "HQ". The runner starts by going West (towards RDU airport) until the first turnaround. Then, the runner heads East towards the second aid station, passing the water station along the way. Finally, the runner heads back to the start/finish line.

You can learn more about the race on the official website and more about my preparation on my planning page. I use the UltraPacer platform to manage the paces for my goals; those goals are:

  1. 21 hours
  2. 22.5 hours
  3. 24 hours
  4. 30 hours
  5. Don't Die

Marketplace

Marketplace is a non-profit media outlet whose primary goal is to cover "business and the economy in ways that everyone can understand, not just those on Wall Street". You can read more on its About Page.

Marketplace is important to me because it's been a huge part of my running. When I got started, I would listen to Marketplace during my training runs, a tradition I continue today. I've also been listening to the program with my dad since I was 10, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Save the Children

Save the Children is a non-profit organization whose focus is ensuring that "children have the right to grow up healthy, educated and safe". Volunteers work in over 100 countries, including the United States, to protect children's rights to education, healthcare, and safety. You can read more on its About Page.

Save the Children seeks to help those least able to help themselves. From combating malnutrition in war-torn countries to helping impoverished children here in the US learn to read, there are so many ways that your donation can help a child in need.
