About
NCTRaces: Palmers is held on July 17, 2027, in Solon Springs, Douglas County, Wisconsin, on trails through forest country. The 50K mystery ultra starts at 5:00 a.m., the marathon (26.2 mi) at 7:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 mi) at 9:00 a.m. and the 5K (3.1 mi) at 11:00 a.m.
A start spread over six hours means the shorter races run in the warmest part of the day while the ultra gets the cool morning — the opposite of what a casual entrant might expect. If you are on the 5K at eleven, warm up in the shade and treat it as a summer race; if you are on the 50K, the first two hours in the dark are the ones to use.
