Star of Louisiana 100

The S.O.L. is a do-it-yourself, self-guided, self or team supported 100 mile adventure. For the month of October, November and December in 2026; runners are invited to explore the beautiful trails of Louisiana. This choose-your-own-adventure race is a unique virtual event. Runners are asked to run 5 Louisiana Trails (S.O.L. because a star has 5 points) in 3 different regions of Louisiana, in 48 hours. Most folks can run a hundred in 24-32 hours, add in the logistics of travel, and nutrition and sleep and the time those things take...it gets more difficult. I, the RD, will provide a list of 25 approved trails to choose from. Athletes must submit a general plan and provide evidence of completion in the form of Strava, Coros, or Garmin data. Yes, you will get a BUCKLE and a t-shirt upon completion. You may not complete the challenge prior to registering for the challenge. That's bogus! All of your submitted data must be recorded AFTER your registration date. Rules: Runners must use the approved trails or submit a trail IF it's not on the list. Runners can start at any time of day but must complete the quest within 48 continuous hours. Runners may run in State Parks, WMA's, Corp. of Engineers Property, Parish Parks, National Forests, Rails to Trails trails, etc. as long as it is legal to do so. Private Property not allowed. Runners must pay park fees when necessary and follow the park rules and guidelines. Runners will travel between trails on their own dime, ubers, shuttles, friends, spouses, etc. are allowed to transport the runner. Runner may sleep between trails while in transit unless they are the driver. (duh.) Runners may sleep during their run or at a trailhead- follow best practices and the rules of the facility. Runners must run at least 1 trail in each of the three (North LA, South LA and Central LA) regions. (1,3,1-2,2,1are both approved) Runners accept the responsibility of researching the trails and ensure proper procedures are in place for hydration, nutrition, safety, extraction, lights, charging of equipment, etc. Runners may incorporate an existing race or Ultra into the mix but....said Ultra may not be longer than a 50k. (Runner pays for the Ultra) Runners may not exceed more than 50k on any single trail. (For example: No 60 mile trail and then 4 ten mile trails.) Runner must submit the Garmin, Strava, Coros, data to the RD upon completion. FB posts will also be good supporting evidence. Runners must be aware of hunting seasons and take reasonable precautions. 25 Approved Louisiana Trails North Eddie D.
