The Thomas Jefferson 100K will take place on Saturday, March 16, 2016. The course is designed along the lines of other well-established multiple-loop courses on the American ultra circuit. Races such as Javelina 100 in AZ, Rocky Raccoon in TX, and Umstead in NC provide runners with excellent opportunities to run long distances over trail without dealing with the complicated logistics of point-to-
point courses or single loop courses. While multiple loop courses require a certain amount of mental fortitude they are also wonderful ways for families, friends and spectators to enjoy the race experience along with the runners.The Thomas Jefferson 100K will provide runners with a challenging 100K course in a controlled, manageable environment. BENEFICIARY: The entire TJ100K course is run over the excellent singletrack trail network of Albemarle County's Walnut Creek Park. As such, all proceeds from the event will support trail development and maintenance in the Albemarle County Park System. RACE DIRECTOR: Andy Jones-Wilkins is a veteran ultrarunner and professional educator. In a running career spanning over two decades, AJW has run over 80 ultras and 29 100 mile races. It has been a long-term goal of his to direct his own race and the TJ100K is that race.
