The Country Mile 48 Hour - Run/Walk

The Country Mile 48 Hour - Run/Walk starts in Slater-Marietta, South Carolina, on April 2, 2027, at 1:00 PM. It is a timed event rather than a fixed distance: you have 48 hours, and the total you cover in that window is your result.

Timed ultras work differently from anything measured in miles. Nobody runs for two days straight, so the format is really about managing rest, food and feet — planning walk breaks before you need them, eating real food on a schedule, and changing socks and shoes before problems start. Runners aiming at a big total usually train with back-to-back long days rather than a single weekly long run, and they practice moving while tired instead of always finishing sessions fresh. Walkers and first-timers can take on the same event with a modest target and treat the clock as permission to stop when it makes sense.
