Livingston Oval Ultra

Livingston Oval Ultra is a timed running event held in Livingston, New Jersey, on March 6, 2027. Four formats are on offer and every one of them is measured in time rather than distance: 12 hours, 6 hours, 3 hours and 1 hour. Start times are not listed. In a timed race, you cover as much ground as you can inside your window, and the runner with the most distance when the clock runs out wins the format.

Because the clock and not a finish line sets the length of your day, this style of event lets you pick an effort that matches your current fitness instead of committing to a fixed distance. The one-hour and three-hour options work well as a first taste of the format, while the 6- and 12-hour races reward runners who already log long weekend efforts and know how to eat and drink while moving. Practice a run-walk rhythm in training, lay out your own supplies before the start, and plan on slowing gradually rather than fading all at once.
