Yeah, I'm actually already signed up for the Delano 12 hour event. I've participated in it for the past couple of years, and it's a well put together race. The race directors are on the blog at schotz.fastrunningblog.com and jelmo.fastrunningblog.com
An event with a set time rather than a set distance is an interesting variation on the ultra, so if you're on the lookout for something a little different, I recommend the Delano 12.
I wish I would have found this sooner. I've signed up for a marathon the weekend beforehand. I don't think I can get the boss (hubby) to agree to 2 back to back travel races. Oh well, there is always next year.
It's worth doing, and there are distance-oriented events concurrently with the 12-hour; this year I think there are both 50-mile and 50k options (and I think it's the only certified 50-mile in the state), and if you can get past the possible monotony of running in circles for 12 hours (it's a 1-mile loop), the course is a very flat cinder path, so it could be a great place to shoot for a PR in the 50k, 50m, 100k, or all at the same time...
