Nocturnal 12
Nocturnal 12 is a 12 hour fixed time race hosted by Obatron Fitness on the Lake Ontario State Parkway Trail between Island Cottage Road and Dewey Avenue in Greece, NY. The event uses a mostly flat paved path that is wide and well kept.
The course is a 1.03 mile out and back for a 2.06 mile round trip. Only completed laps count and a finisher must complete at least one full out and back lap. There are no streetlights along sections of the path, so headlamps or flashlights are required; a small flashlight is included in the race packet. Reflective gear is encouraged where the path is near the parkway. Parking is available on the wide shoulder of Island Cottage Road.
Participants have access to an all-night aid station and can indicate dietary preferences at registration; sample items include English muffin or mini tortilla pizzas, instant coffee, cookies, sports drink, and cracker sandwiches. Packets include a race bib, a wooden medallion, a shirt or alternate keepsake when available, a Nocturnal Snack Pack, and packet expanders. Digital finisher certificates and cumulative mileage tokens are provided; reaching 50 miles or more earns a larger keepsake. A Special Night Owl Award is given to racers who are on course during each race hour. Teams of four or more are accepted, with team tokens, standings, and eligibility for team prizes when formed by the stated deadline. A portable toilet and a handwashing station will be on site.
