Chase the Sun Running Co.

12/09/2026

We are 28 days away from the inaugural HELIOS 6/12/20 HOUR RUN

☀️ The sun doesn’t wait - and neither do we.
Every mile you run now builds the engine you’ll rely on in October.

HELIOS isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up, choosing your challenge, and chasing the light for as long as you can.

Whether you’re running solo or teaming up with your crew, the adventure starts long before race day.

Keep stacking the miles. Keep chasing the sun.

**Merch orders are due by 9/20 - if you didn't order at registration, it's not too late! Visit the store to preorder yours: https://www.goldenkettletrailseries.com/helios

HELIOS is officially 70 days out.

The sun is high, the trails are hot, and the countdown to the 6/12/20 Hour Ultra starts now.

This race isn’t about speed - it’s about how long you can hold the light.
How long you can stay in motion.
How long you can chase the sun before darkness wins.

Registration is open. Grab your team or go solo!
Step into the light.

🔥 It’s been hot enough to melt your shoes off lately… but ARKTOS doesn’t care.

While Wisconsin baked under this heat wave, February has been quietly sharpening its claws. The Scuppernong trails you’ve been sweating on will be frozen, wind‑cut, and unforgiving when ARKTOS arrives.

This heat is a lie - a temporary comfort. Winter is coming, and ARKTOS is where you prove you can handle both extremes.

❄️ ARKTOS 6/12/24 Hour Run - February 27
Cold. Dark. Relentless.
Exactly the kind of challenge you train for when the sun is trying to cook you alive.

🔥🔥Why this heat matters:

🤒Every scorching mile now builds your winter engine

💦Your hydration discipline today becomes survival discipline in February

🔥Heat training boosts your cold‑weather resilience more than people think

❄️If you’re out there sweating, you’re already preparing for the freeze.

Step into the winter. Own the cold.
Register for ARKTOS

Stay hot now. Freeze your limits later.
