The 7-11 Slurpee Day Ultra 60k

The 7-11 Slurpee Day Ultra 60k is a unique self-supported ultramarathon held in Vernon, Connecticut, covering approximately 37.5 miles on mostly road routes. Participants run between multiple 7-11 convenience stores across towns including Vernon, Manchester, East Hartford, West Hartford, Newington, New Britain, and finish in Meriden. The course features a significant net downhill and encourages runners to stay with the group for camaraderie and fun.

Runners purchase their own Slurpees and snacks along the way, embracing a lighthearted, non-competitive atmosphere. The event includes a chartered bus to shuttle runners from the finish back to the start, with self-reporting of times and a relaxed eight-hour soft cutoff.
