I had no idea a 100k race was even a thing, but suddenly I too feel the need to “f around and find out” because how fun does a long walking challenge sound!? So excited for you & can’t wait to hear how it goes!
There's a local group here in Wisconsin that has started doing these really long hikes. They've encouraged regular people - not weirdo ultrarunners or distance hikers, just regular people - to sign up and give it a try. And I think a lot of people are finding out that they are capable of so much. I love stuff like that!
You will be fine, and do great. You have the mental strength to get thru it. Above all, have fun, that's why we do these things! (even if it's type 2 fun).
Amazing!! I call myself a plodder, I alternate walk/jog for about a 12 min mile pace in general and looove the quest for just being out there. I’ve done a couple half marathons and one full. I really want to get into longer races, ultras especially trail races. Will look into this Pistol race for future years. Good luck!!

Having fun is really the key to any of this stuff.
Good luck! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
Thank you! I’m really excited about it!
