A 100-mile run on the New River Trail, a flat rail trail of dirt and crushed gravel along the New River in southwest Virginia, held at peak fall color.
Nightleg is an independent tracker for crews. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Run Bum Races, and it is not the race's official tracking.
Enter a goal time. The chart assumes an even moving pace and a few minutes at each aid station, which is how most runners plan a race like this.

The crew column shows where the crew we tracked in 2026 met their runner. It is one crew’s plan, not the race’s official crew rules, which can change from year to year. Check the race’s own runner guide before you drive anywhere.
Nightleg’s first race was this one. In October 2026 a crew used it to follow a runner to a finish in 23:09, 51 minutes under his 24 hour goal, including four hours when his phone sent no GPS at all.
Nightleg shows the crew where the runner is, when they will reach the next stop, and how to drive there. Family follows along and sends cheers from home. The aid stations on this page are loaded for you, so setup takes a couple of minutes.
33 hours. The race started at 6:00 AM in 2026, which puts the cutoff at 3:00 PM the next day.
No. It runs on the New River Trail, a rail trail that is flat or close to it for nearly the whole distance. The race lists about 2,000 feet of climbing or less.
Plan for gaps. The runner we tracked in 2026 sent no GPS for about four hours in the morning. His crew still met him on time because Nightleg kept estimating from his pace and said clearly when it was estimating.
On the 2026 course there were 10 full aid stations and 5 water-only stops between the start and the finish. The table on this page lists each one with its mile.
Set the race up in Nightleg. The course and aid stations on this page are already loaded, so it takes a couple of minutes. The crew sees where the runner is and when to be at the next stop, including when the runner's phone has no signal. Nightleg is independent and is not the race's own tracking.
Checked October 12, 2026 against: Race registration page (UltraSignup). Aid station names and miles are from the 2026 course. Races change their courses and rules, so confirm everything with Run Bum Races before race day.
