Temptation 200 Ultras is a multi-distance trail event held at Sand Ridge State Forest with start/finish at Oak Campground. The event offers multiple distance options and allows long-ultra entrants to change distance on race day or upgrade before the event.
Distances offered:
- 200K - long-ultra entry; runners may drop to 150K or 100K.
- 150K - attained by continuing beyond 100K loops.
- 100K - an intermediate long-ultra distance.
- 50K - two-loop short ultra; finishers receive a challenge coin.
- Not Tempted 10K - out-and-back to the first aid station and back.
Camping at the start/finish is included with registration; Oak Campground has pit toilets and a hand-powered water pump. There are no showers or electric hookups in the park. Packet pickup and race packet distribution occur during the event weekend.
Awards and recognition include a custom challenge coin for 50K finishers who stop there, buckles for 100K, 150K and 200K finishes, framed course maps for winners, and a special award for the final 200K finisher who meets cutoffs. Race directors apply flexible cutoffs and may prevent further loops if completion within the overall time limit appears impossible. Registration closes August 25. Refund and deferral rules apply with set percentages and deadlines. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
