Sparks Biggest Little Ultra
The event is a multi day ultra running event held in Sparks, Nevada at Sparks Marina, 300 Howard Drive. The course is a paved, lighted loop just under 2 miles long with about 29 feet total elevation gain. Two permanent restrooms are on the loop and porta potties will be near the start area. Partial laps are not counted.
Race formats include fixed time and fixed distance options:
- 3 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, 48 hour
- 50 mile, 100 mile
Some fixed time races are offered on multiple days and are consolidated for awards. A relay option for a six hour event allows teams of up to six runners with award categories for all female teams, all male teams, mixed gender teams, and teams with runners over 55.
A staffed aid station at the start and finish supplies food and drink around the clock and offers real meals with vegan options during normal meal hours. The event operates as a cupless race; hot cups are provided for soup and hot drinks at night.
One pacer at a time is permitted and bicycles are not allowed. Electronic chip timing records each completed lap and a secondary timing point helps verify lap counts. Live results are published online. The event is organized by Sparks Ultras. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
