Multiday races are a test of a runners' [[Endurance|endurance]], skill with [[pacing]], and ability to [[recover]] from the [[stress]] of constantly moving. The competitors run with minimal [[sleep]], all the while trying to accumulate as many miles as possible. This event is akin to the old [[6 Day Races|six day]] endurance events held in the latter part of the 19th century, popularly known as '[[pedestrianism]]'. Those races were held on indoor short tracks made of compressed earth and tree bark or sawdust. The athletes would run in a style known as 'go as you please'- they could run or walk. Nearly 100 years before the six day races were in their heyday, attempts at [[1000 Mile Races|1000 miles]] within a 20 day timeframe had been undertaken by highly trained professional walkers, with large amounts of money waged on their outcomes. Most of these contests were solo events in which a walker would cover one mile each hour for 1000 consecutive hours. Because so few of these contests were competitive, it took nearly a century before larger fields and more do-able events like the six-day became popular. ([[Sahishnu Szczesiul]] 2002)

Since the 1980's multiday running has enjoyed a rennaissance as has ultrarunning as a whole. Despite the amopunt of time required to complete these events the perception that one has to be crazy to even attempt these races has begun to be replaced with the understanding that these races are a tremendous opportunity to test one's capacity, to transcend perceived difficulties and learn to operate most efficiently within a structured environment.

==Multidays By Time==
 +
These events stretch upwards from 24 (such as the [[Self-Transcendence 12/24 Basel]] race) and 48 hour races such as the [[Surgères 48 Hour Race|Surgères]] 48 hour race (no longer held) and the [[Taipei 48 Hour Ultra Marathon|Taipei 48hr Ultra Marathon]]. The more common standard time-frame are the six day races, 1000 km and 1000 mile events. Popular 6 day races are the [[Self-Transcendence 6 Day Race]] in New York, [[Across The Years]] and the [[Balatonfüred EMU 6 Day Race|Emu 6 day race]] in Hungary.

Popular [[Stage Races|stage races]] include the [[Marathon des Sables]], the [[Dragons Back]] in Wales and the [[Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon]] in South Africa. Other race time-frames exist as well as do events based on distance, the longest certified race being the [[Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race|Self-Transcendence 3100 mile]] race in New York.

Multiday Running

Multidays is a resource that supports multiday and ultrarunning projects by providing news and updates through the website and its free online magazine, Ultrarunning World.

What is a multiday race

A multiday race is an ultramarathon that takes place over several days. Multiday races are a test of a runners' endurance, skill with pacing, and ability to recover from the stress of constantly moving. The competitors run with minimal sleep, all the while trying to accumulate as many miles as possible.

Multidays By Time

These events stretch upwards from 24 (such as the Self-Transcendence 12/24 Basel race) and 48 hour races such as the Surgères 48 hour race (no longer held) and the Taipei 48hr Ultra Marathon. The more common standard time-frame are the six day races, 1000 km and 1000 mile events. Popular 6 day races are the Self-Transcendence 6 Day Race in New York, Across The Years and the Emu 6 day race in Hungary. Popular stage races include the Marathon des Sables, the Dragons Back in Wales and the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon in South Africa. Other race time-frames exist as well as do events based on distance, the longest certified race being the Self-Transcendence 3100 mile race in New York.

Multidays By Distance

Trans-national events exist like the Trans-Am, Deutschlandlauf and the Transe Gaule as well as point to point and stage events and there is a new edition of the TransEurope footrace planned for 2021.

Since the 1980's multiday running has enjoyed a renaissance as has ultrarunning as a whole. Despite the amount of time required to complete these events, these races are a tremendous opportunity to discover one's capacity, to test one's limits and to transcend perceived difficulties and learn to operate most efficiently within a given environment.
