What is an Endurance Shindig?
WHAT IS AN ENDURANCE SHINDIG?
Camp Anderson Endurance Shindig is a weekend-long celebration of trail running and the trail running community and camaraderie. (And after 2020, isn’t that what we need?)
Registration fee is all-inclusive! Camping, Food, Beer, Swag, and more is included.
Camp Anderson opens at 6pm on Friday! Camp Anderson has seven regular campsites with each having a capacity ranging from 14 to 48 while a pavilion available at the pond with a capacity of 64. Explore the 92 acres, fish at the pond or along the stocked trout stream, or build a fire and talk about your future running plans.
The main event is Saturday with three endurance runs of 3, 6 and 12 hours beginning at 6am for the 6 and 12 hour events and 9am for the 3 hour event on our 2 mile course - or run it as a relay. Run during the allotted time or as little as you want… it is up to you! It is also a great opportunity to train for an upcoming ultramarathon like Eastern States 100, Pine Creek Challenge, Black Forest Ultra and more!
“It’s a favorite event! 6 hour on my feet, another 6 hours socializing and cheering others on!” - Mary D.
We will have a full-stocked aid station - or - you can put up your own aid station anywhere on the course. There is a fully equipped, modern kitchen on-site so meals are professionally prepared and included with registration. In addition, the kitchen will be making specialty items that you would not normally find at an aid station and will serve throughout the day.
Standing Stone Coffee Company is returning this year to provide coffee drinks, smoothies in the AM until 1pm and then Levity Brewing Company will be providing the beer! Again, the food and beverages are included with the registration as well as a handful of swag! This year we including a technical tee, an insulated lunch cooler, HydraPak Softcup, cooling towels and a sticker pending on the mileage you achieved during the day.
Then Saturday evening, you are welcome to spend another night camping and celebrating with new and old friends that you participated alongside throughout the day. Lastly, a shower-house is available on‑site.

New for 2021: This year we increase the distance from 1.875 miles to 2 miles so it is easier to keep track of mileage when you are on the course. And, we increased the hill climbing by more than twice the amount of climbing. We did this by adding a significant hill and extending two more climbs.
Training for:
- Eastern States 100
- Black Forest 100K
- Worlds End Ultra 100K
- Boulder Field 100K
- Pine Creek 100
- Oil Creek 100
- Tussey Mountainback 50
or another ultramarathon? This is a great opportunity to work those legs for the long haul, test your gear, get your nutrition in check, etc.
