Black Barn 200
About the race
The Black Barn 200 is the first edition of a 200 mile race for ultra runners who want to find out what they are made of. It was created so people could test their limits in a 200 mile run while minimizing the downsides.
The 200 Mile Course is a 3.2 mile loop with minimal elevation change, with one giant aid station where you can get everything you need. You can do this race with or without a crew to support you.
A much larger, better staffed and supported central aid station means you don't need to carry as much on the course. This race costs less than half of many other 200's.
