THE FALL 50 is a 50-mile running adventure for solo ultra-marathoners and teams of up to five runners. The course route begins at the northernmost tip of the peninsula and travels down the western shoreline along scenic back roads to the population center in Sturgeon Bay. The event ends with an outrageous party set under a tent along the shipping channel at Sunset Park in Sturgeon Bay.

Registration for the October 20, 2012 Door County Fall 50 will open on April 1, 2012. Exactly 400 teams and 200 solo runners will be accepted for the 2012 event. Check back to this website for additional updates on registration fees as the April 1st opening approaches. You may also sign up for the event newsletter by providing your email address in the newsletter sign up link on the right side of this page.

Start time assignments for the October 22, 2011 Fall 50 are now posted to front of the Fall 50 event website. 
You may CLICK HERE or on the “Start Time Assignments” button to the right to see your start time.


All solo runners will begin at 7:00 am to afford them the maximum amount of daylight possible to complete the event.  The course closes at 6 pm so there is an 11 hour time limit for solo runners.  Teams are assigned to three start times at 8 am, 9 am and 10 am with the slowest third of the teams beginning at 8 am, the middle third beginning at 9 am and the fastest third beginning at 10 am.  The anticipated team paces shown in the table are calculated based on  the average pace of the members of that team.  In other words, the assignments are made based on the information that you provided to us.

 

According to the information provided to us, all teams should be able to finish between 3 pm and 6 pm on race day.  Each year, we are contacted by team captains who experience unplanned roster changes in October and worry that these changes will jeopardize their ability to finish prior to 6 pm.  For planning reasons, however, we will NOT grant wave changes for any reason.  Team captains who experience unplanned roster changes that slow their anticipated pace are advised to rearrange the leg assignments to address the problem.  In other words, assign the longer and/or hillier legs to the stronger runners on your team.  Adapting to changing circumstances is part of the challenge, folks!

In order to guarantee your team members t-shirt sizes and avoid receiving an inaccurate start wave assignment, Fall 50 teams must have their rosters completed by Friday, September 30th.    Wave assignments for the teams will be set based on the anticipated pace data for each runner and team in the system on Friday, September 30th at midnight.  Teams will be assigned to the three waves based on the collective pace of their members.  The slowest third of the teams will start at 8 am on race day, the middle third at 9 am and the fastest third at 10 am.  Start time assignments will be posted to the website on Monday, October 3rd.  Once the start time assignments are posted, they will not be changed for any reason, including failure to complete your roster, last-minute changes in your roster or sudden unexplained increases or reductions in your anticipated pace…Yes, we know all your tricks ;-)

Registration for the relay categories (both pairs and team) of the sixth annual Door County Fall 50 reached its full capacity of 300 team on Wednesday, May 18th.  Registration for the event opened April 1st, less than 50 days earlier.  In order to limit congestion and maintain safety at the start line, at the finish line and at the rest stations along the course, additional registations are no longer being accepted for the relay events.  Registration for the Solo (one person) Division of the 50-mile ultra-marathon remains open.  Please note that participants MAY NOT switch between the Solo Division and the Team/Pairs Division.
