Mason-Dixon Trail
Longest Day 100K Challenge


 June 24, 2006



~100 kilometers in 15 hours of sunlight on [nearly] the longest day of the year.

Susquehanna Park, Maryland to Long Level, near Wrightsville, Pa
Start at sunrise (05:38) finish by sunset (20:39), total time: 15:01

Start
– Rock Run Mill
Finish – Shanks Mare Store

Aid – self supported, possibly two to three general common drop/ aid points, tbd.

Trail Markings – Mason Dixon Blue Blazes and good sense of direction. Interested runners should
 purchase a set of the maps published by the Mason-Dixon Trail Association.


Other – this is a free individual effort, and not to be considered an organized, sponsored or affiliated endeavor;

no applications, releases, etc.
; don’t expect much more from it other than self-fulfillment.

Realistic run estimates – for even a seasoned fast trail runner, completion in daylight may be beyond
normal capabilities (doable perhaps only by speedy mountain goats brandishing a machete);
option to include civil twilight (05:05 to 21:12 total time: 16:07)
