Race Overview
The Whispering Grace 100, is a 100 mile, 100k, and 50k race by Race Brimstone (Jeremey Followay- Eric Whittington) It is a 2.5-mile loop course race around the pastures and fields and road of the Whispering Grace Horses. https://whisperinggracehorses.org/ There will be one big aid station and porta-johns at the freedom farm barn/start-finish line. Whispering Grace provides equine therapy to a wide array of people including Handicapped and Veterans and profits from this race will go to further support their program.
This year we are excited to announce that Whispering Grace has acquired some additional property so we can extend our loop to 2.5 miles! The course will continue to be around the fields and pastures of Whispering Grace along with an out and back road section.
Also, the 2023 event WILL TAKE PLACE ON VETERAN’S DAY!!!
Proceeds will go to Whispering Grace!
Event Schedule
Welcome to Whispering Grace
Camping
Camping will be permitted the night before the race. We ask that everyone please clean up after themselves very well.
Parking
The bad news is. There is not a ton of parking at the farm so we ask that everyone do their best to park fairly close to each other.
But the good news is… nearly all the parking is right along the course so you can use your car as your own personal aid station (in addition to our huge add station) there is also an adequate area to set up a pop-up close to your vehicle.
