Why EXCLAMATION?
This race isn’t just another ultra — it’s a statement.
- The course forms the shape of an exclamation mark: the dot is the start/finish, and each 5-mile out-and-back is an Exclamation.
- The name reflects our philosophy: “Whatever you do in life, put an exclamation after it — go all out.“
- The course and the railroad ties found along side this re-purposed track themselves resemble an exclamation mark.
- And fittingly, Exclamation 5.0 is the longest distance covered per loop in any last-man-standing race to date. Every hour demands more, and runners will be gasping to keep up.
This is where resilience, philosophy, and endurance collide — one Exclamation at a time.

Gear Recommendations

- Headlamp, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, mosquito spray

- They follow the same rules as runners (except they don’t need to start each Exclamation).
- No assistance allowed mid-Exclamation — only at start/finish.
- Cheering is encouraged, but respect Quiet Hours: 10 PM – 7 AM. Think golf clap, not rock concert.
- Please explore Roxton, meet the locals, and support the town’s businesses.
