Pick your stack
Both start at Crooked Smile Trail. Both end in pancakes. Only one of them is over by breakfast.
3.1 miles · $35 · Done by breakfast
3.1 miles at whatever pace makes you happy. Then you sit down to a hot stack and cheer on the ultra runners — who will still be out there for a very, very long time. Entry is $35 through RunSignup.
5K every hour · $135 · 10-hour cap
Every hour, on the hour, the bell rings and everyone runs the same 5K. Finish early and the rest of the hour is yours — eat, stretch, reconsider. Run one bell or all ten — answer every one and you've stacked up 31.07 miles, a full 50K. The fastest male and female of the day win. Then we eat. Entry is $135 plus processing fees through RunSignup.
A 5K every hour
Ten bells, ten 5Ks, one long day. Answer every one — and the fastest of the day take the win.
Every hour, on the hour, everyone on the course starts the same 5K together.
Finish in 40 minutes and you've got 20 to eat, stretch, and question your choices.
The Tall Stack is tracked with Strava. You're responsible for turning in each of your ten runs.
Answer all ten and you've run 31.07 miles — a full 50K. The fastest male and female of the day win. Everyone gets pancakes, so really, everyone wins.
The bell rings at the top of every hour — next one in --:--
Bib pickup is at 7 AM and the first bell rings at 8. Every 5K adds a pancake to your stack — ten hours of running, 8 AM to 6 PM, for 31.07 miles, a full 50K.

Full-time missionaries serving in Nepal with One Soma Global — and the hands behind His Table Pakistan.
Feeding and ministering to families enslaved in Pakistan's brick kilns — and helping workers find jobs outside them, so families can step out of the debt cycle for good.

Absolutely not. The Short Stack 5K is 3.1 miles and done — most people run it, eat, and spend the rest of the day heckling the Tall Stack field with love.
It's tracked with Strava, and you're responsible for turning in each of your ten runs. The fastest male and female of the day win.
Ten hours of running, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Every hour is a fresh 5K — answer all ten bells and that's 31.07 miles, a full 50K, and pancakes for everyone.
Yes. This is not a metaphor. Every registration includes pancakes at the finish, and the griddle runs all day for everyone else — $10 per person if you're not running.
Yes, you can — pancakes are $10 per person. Bring chairs, hang out at the team tents, and check out the vendors. Come hungry, cheer loud.
The course starts and finishes at Crooked Smile Trail. The full address, course map, and parking details land with registration.
The social half
The finish line is a table
The race is the excuse. The point is a long, loud breakfast at Crooked Smile Trail with people who just ran with you.
The Griddle
Hot stacks coming off the griddle all day — for runners, spectators, and anyone who followed the smell of butter. Not running? Pancakes are $10 per person.
The Hangout
Team tents, vendors, coffee, music, and a front-row seat to the Tall Stack. There's something to do for everyone — even if you never lace up.
The Awards
Top honors for the fastest male and female of the day, and a prize for every finisher.
