2020 No Business 100 Mile Endurance Race

I ran the 2020 No Business 100 mile ultra marathon with the goal of breaking 24 hours. The inaugural race took place in 2017 and was run in clockwise direction. The race is run in counter clockwise direction on even years, as was the case this year. The race starts in Pickett State Park in Tennessee and follows a 100 mile loop around Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area through Kentucky and back to Tennessee. In the process, runners climb just over 14,000 feet and cover 102 miles over rugged but beautiful terrain.
This video covers the first 40 miles until sunset. Once the sun rose again, I was too tired to focus both on racing and taking video footage and the race and my race goal took priority.

@@ultrakraut Were you using a gimbal or just the GoPro; oh and was it the 8 or 9?

[@ultrakraut]

@@UltraTrailSteven No gimbal, just GoPro Hero 9 (Hypersmooth 3.0)

[@UltraTrailSteven]
