Paul certified our courses in the past and is a rock star. Because math becomes incredibly difficult after running a zillion miles, we will have a large banner listing increasing mileage total per lap.

Deep in a race, runners tend to get hypnotized staring at the timing monitor for minutes on end and to help avoid this hypnosis, this mileage banner is being created. I would suggest wearing running gaiters around your shoes.

It always sucks to get even a small pebble in your shoe. com , or elsewhere on the Internet. Below is a birds-eye view of the course. The USATF mile race will be run on a 1. It is VERY different than the normal 2. It is a quick loop around the lake and does not incorporate the varying terrain of the regular Jackpot course.

The course is specifically designed to give USATF members a chance to set records, achieve optimal results, etc. This course, which does share many paths with the regular Jackpot course, is ONLY being used for the USATF Mile race. By the way, all runners in the USATF race are required to be USATF members.

If you are not yet a member, please visit USATF. CLICK HERE to become a member. The courses are extremely well lite at night and with the elimination of the dark single-track section from the regular course, some folks may opt to run without a headlamp.

Both courses share an unlit yard section of the courses which will be illuminated with 8 powerful solar lights. Bring a headlamp and extra batteries.

Unfortunately, course cutting has occurred in many ultra races and it has affected the outcome of some podium finishes. In fact, Jackpot fell victim to course cutting several years ago.

With that said, we have zero tolerance for course cutting. If you are caught, you will immediately be disqualified and asked to leave the venue. To protect the integrity of our race, we have incurred significant expense through the deployment of a timing systems that include extensive photo capture, along with course-side cameras.

Elemental Race Timing has been hired to time the entire festival with Jimmy Gabany leading the effort. Elemental will be using the highly proven RM Timing System. Results will be streamed online and will automatically update every 15 minutes. A few days before the race, once we have uploaded all runners to the system, we will send a streaming results weblink which you can share with family and friends.

There are 2 different bathroom spots on the course. About 20 yards from the aid station there are park restrooms. Each has several stalls and a number of sinks. We have requested approval from the City to allow the delivery truck to access the back-half of the course to add a third bathroom location.

Only God knows! Mid-February is the optimum time to host an endurance run in Southern Nevada with generally mild conditions. With that said, please check the local weather carefully before you leave home and pack accordingly zip code for the venue is Also, there is no shade on this course, so BRING sunscreen.

We will have tons of ice, popsicles, frozen grapes, etc. We have extensive experiencing helping runners keep their core temps in check. We do keep a nicely stocked First Aid kit at the aid station.

However, we are by no means a CVS or Walgreens and the kit is designed for emergencies. Heck, I strongly suggest bringing your favorite diaper ointment. These are not cheap screen-printed shirts; they are high-end sublimated tech shirts.

We very much need and welcome all the volunteer help we can get, especially since the event goes non-stop for 72 hours! Plus, our workload is much higher with covid protocols.

If you have family or friends coming to the race who might want to kill 4 hours by volunteering for a shift, please ask them to volunteer. CLICK HERE to sign-up online for a shift.

Several of you have inquired about bringing dogs to the race. Technically, since it is a public park, dogs are permit in the park.

With that said, we very, very much prefer folks not bring their dogs onto the course. With runners, it can be dangerous. If you do want to do a lap with your dog, PLEASE trot with your dog well off to the side of the running path so as to not even come close to impeding a runner.

Several runners are attempting to set records. Register Now. Would you like to VOLUNTEER? Come support our runners as they push beyond limits.

Ian Maddieson , 80 years old, was the true veteran of the group, having completed his first ultra back at the American River 50 Mile and has, among many other things, 15 Western States finishes.

Denis Trafecanty , also 80 years old, ran the Spunky Canyon 40 Mile as his first ultra in and has multiple finishes at the Western States , Angeles Crest Mile, and Vermont Mile.

Finally, there was year-old David Blaylock , who ran his first ultra at the Wasatch Front Mile in and went on to complete the race 12 more times over his illustrious career, which in recent years has included six trips to the Jackpot Ultras.

There was a touch of electricity in the air as these five elder statesmen of the sport began their journeys to miles. The course, a 1. It was interesting to note the differences in pacing and fueling strategies of the five octogenarians.

Rousseau started out relatively hard, running the flats and downhills and walking the uphills. Blaylock was locked into a strong powerhike for most of the first day and began to run more over the last six hours.

Maddieson mixed in walking and running while Leigh, the tallest and lankiest of the five, used his long stride to eat up the miles. Trafecanty, finally, who ran most of the time in long pants and a puffy jacket, appeared to take what the course gave him, mixing in running and walking and spending minimal time at the aid stations.

In the end, Blaylock passed Rousseau, who had been in the lead for nearly 29 hours, with about five miles to go and ended up being crowned the USATF National Champion with an impressive 29 hours and 47 minutes finish.

Rousseau held on for second place in while Maddieson and Trafecanty finished third and fourth in and

If they are the race organizer, you know it will be a good one. This race was on a 2. As an urban ultra, this one was fairly scenic with mountains on the horizon and a picturesque lake in the middle of the course. I enjoyed watching the ducks and geese that were swimming in the lake, and watching the other runners and members of the public walking their dogs.

As usual, the aid station and support was phenomenal, along with live entertainment and nice swag. Skip to content Search for:. Find a Race Races by State Race Calendar Blog Partner.

Ultra runners are the most welcoming runners you will ever encounter, so make sure you share a few laps with your fellow runners and get to know some new friends. Soak it in and have fun getting to know your fellow Jackpot runners. Historically, we have allowed partial laps in all the fixed timed races.

The logistics for gathering, measuring and inputting this data manual into the timing system has caused long delays in posting final results and distributing awards. However, if a runner in any of the fixed timed races is on pace to set an age group record, or national record, we will allow that runner to run a partial lap.

They will be given a bean bag to carry on the partial lap and when the ending siren goes off, they will drop the bean bag on the course. A race official will follow this runner on an electric scooter during this partial lap and officially mark the ending spot. When time permits later in the festival, a race official will wheel-off the exact distance.

If you are in one of the fixed timed races and believe you have a realistic shot at setting a new age group record, or national record, please send Ken an email at least a few days before the race. We will prepare a list for race officials and the timer to keep an eye on folks in this category and if they are indeed on pace to set a record, we will be ready to observe an exact partial lap.

We take great pride in having a large variety of food available at our aid station. While we are obviously hopeful and optimistic the State will not impose the same rules as last year, it is prudent for use to spend the extra money and effort assuming they will.

Better safe than sorry. Steph has the mental focus and deserves all the credit for filling thousands of zip lock bags!

We will be serving full meals 4-times a day at the times specified below. For safety reasons, aid station personnel will fill all water bottles, camelbacks, etc. Lunch: AM — PM. Chicken and Vegan Breaded Chicken Sandwiches, Rice.

Dinner: PM — PM. Pasta and meatballs in Marinara, Vegan Wheat Pasta with Veggies and Creamy Red Sauce, Salad, Bread. Late Dinner: 11PM — Midnight. Chili with Meat and Cheese, Grilled Cheese. Breakfast: AM — AM. Pancakes, Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Coffee And OJ, Oatmeal, Fruit. Lunch: AM — PM Sub Sandwiches Turkey, Ham, Roast-beef, Veggie , Mashed potatoes.

Dinner: PM — PM Burgers, Hot Dogs, Vegan and Vegetarian Burgers and fixings Tomato, Pickles Baked Beans, Potato Salad. French Toast Sticks, Scrambled eggs, Bacon, Coffee And OJ, Oatmeal, Fruit. Chicken Alfredo Pasta and Veggies, Vegan Wheat Pasta with Zucchini and Tomatoes, Salad, Bread.

Breakfast Burritos filled with egg, bacon or sausage and Potato, or Egg, Potato and Cheese, Coffee And OJ, Oatmeal, Fruit. If you have special dietary needs, please plan accordingly by bringing your own special nutrition. We will soon announce what electrolyte beverages will be served.

We will also have an extensive array of soda, water and coffee. Speaking of water, to cut down on extreme cup waste, runners should carry a personal water bottle, or personal hydration system for drinking water. As a reminder, runners will not fill their own water bottles at the main aid station. A Jackpot team member or volunteer will fill all bottles while wearing gloves.

Pacing is allowed from sunset to sunrise beginning on day one of your race and allowed thereafter. No more than one pacer may run at any given time with a runner and pacing by bike, scooter, etc. is NOT allowed. Exceptions are made for certain circumstances and must be approved by Ken, Stephanie, or Lee Co-Race Directors.

Please Note: If you are in the USATF division of the mile race, you are not allowed to have a pacer at ANY time per USATF rules. We no longer allow mid-race dropping. This is not because we are cruel. With 8 races simultaneously taking place, including the USATF Mile Road Championship, moving runners around in the timing system once the starting horn goes off can cause system issues.

You can email Ken up until Monday, February 7th at Midnight if you want to change the race you are currently registered for. Something to consider. Ultras are hard and you will inevitably encounter a couple dark periods where you will be tempted to quit the race.

Rather than quit, find another runner to help you through your dark periods. We will have a small USATF Mile Award Distribution Ceremony at AM on Saturday for USATF runners.

Podium awards for all other races will be distributed as runners finish. We are VERY excited to announce the regular 2. The new course is now 2. We were the first group to use the park after it opened and had designed the course to cross 3 bridges. A week before the inaugural Jackpot Ultra, we saw that one of the bridges was completely under water.

The engineers had obviously made a mistake which they discovered when initially filling the lake. We frantically worked under the cover of darkness for several nights to hand cut the single-track dirt trails along the river just in time for the 1st Jackpot.

After our Happy Hippie Harvest Run this past November, we visited Cornerstone Park and discovered that after 10 years, the City of Henderson decided to rebuild the underwater bridge. With this bridge now in place, which is low to the water and absolutely beautiful, there is no longer a need to run on the deteriorating dirt single track sections of the course.

In reality, with this new bridge, no one is running on the single-track trail next to the river and the trail is now over-grown and essentially gone. In our opinion, the course will be dramatically faster, as well as safer.

If you have dreams of PR-ing this year, you now have a much greater chance, so keep training hard! The only other significant change is we no longer run on the inner edge of the grass where many runners set up tents and personal aid stations.

Instead, we now run up and down the sidewalk right next to the grass area. Not to worry, there is still plenty of room for tents and personal aid stations. We hired Paul Frtiz, a top-rated civil engineer with an extensive course certification resume, to certify this new and improved course.

Paul certified our courses in the past and is a rock star. Because math becomes incredibly difficult after running a zillion miles, we will have a large banner listing increasing mileage total per lap.
