About the Event

RATT50 Intro: A solo, unsanctioned, extreme point-to-point 50-mile ultra taking place every May and September, starting at Pilgrims' First Landing Park, Provincetown, MA, and spanning Cape Cod's untamed beauty.

About the Course

Cape Cod's RATT50 Ultra is an exceptional adventure that stretches across the pristine beaches of Cape Cod. What sets this run apart from others is the pivotal role played by the tides, which dictate when certain sections can be conquered, rendering others impassable.

Start Time Determined by Gravitational Pull of the Moon and Tides

With tides rising and falling twice daily, this course requires meticulous planning, thorough preparation, and an unconventional approach compared to conventional runs. Your run's start time, determined by the first low tide between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM, will be provided by the race director 24 hours before the event.

Stay and Experience Cape Cod's Rich Heritage at Sea Meadow Inn

Immerse yourself in the timeless charm and heritage of the Sea Meadow Inn, a venerable 240-year-old gem among Cape Cod's historic houses. Amidst the serene backdrop, you'll prepare for the ultimate solo and unsupported ultra run, surrounded by all the amenities you need for optimal readiness.
