Storm the Day (Sunrise to Sunset)

Storm the Day (Sunrise to Sunset) takes place in Winona on October 9, 2027, with a 7:15 a.m. start. The single event is a timed race lasting twelve hours, from sunrise to sunset, as its name suggests.

Timed formats change how you approach a race: there is no finish line to reach, just a running clock and a growing mileage total. Pacing therefore matters more than speed. A very controlled pace in the early hours, short planned breaks, a steady intake of carbohydrates and salt, and changing socks or shoes along the way make more of a difference than raw horsepower. It is a good learning ground for runners who want to try ultrarunning without committing to a set distance: everyone stops when they decide to, with a mileage goal set in advance.
