3 Days at the Fair

3 Days at the Fair is a multi-day endurance event held at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ. The competition takes place on a certified 1.000 mile flat loop consisting primarily of pavement with approximately 5% crushed gravel. The course is lit at night, eliminating the need for personal headlamps. Participants are tracked using a chip timing system that records each completed lap.

The event offers a variety of timed and distance-based categories:

• 144 Hour, 72 Hour, 48 Hour, and 24 Hour
• 12 Hour (Day or Night options)
• 6 Hour (Day or Night options)
• Marathon (26.2 miles) and 50K
• 2 Marathons or 2 50K's
• 3 Marathons or 3 50K's
• Quadzilla (4 Marathons or 4 50K's)

An aid station provides hot and cold food, including vegetarian and vegan options, for the duration of the event. Runners also have access to a full kitchen and a walk-in refrigerator to prepare their own food. Facilities on-site include heated public restrooms and showers located just steps from the course.

The fairgrounds remain an active site during the races, hosting other events such as horse and poultry shows. While the race course is closed to the public, attendees may encounter various farm animals on the property. Pets are permitted if they remain on a leash. Awards include local artwork for top finishers and lifetime mileage markers such as coins, belt buckles, and paver bricks for specific distance milestones.
