The course is not marked. A downloadable GPX file and turn by turn directions are provided for navigation and are recommended for use on a watch or phone. The event is open to traffic with multiple road crossings and some sections that have little or no shoulder; participants are required to follow pedestrian rules, use sidewalks and greenways where available, and cross roads at crosswalks.
Event logistics note a packet pick up window the day before the event and a day of packet pick up at the race venue. Registration closes Wed, Feb 24 at 11:59 PM ET. Timing services are provided by East Coast Adventures and the stated cutoff is 11 hours; the organizer will not sweep the course.
