Aid stations are cupless; water dispensers are provided at the start/finish and at every aid station so runners can fill bladders, bottles, or reusable cups. Packet pickup is held race morning at the Kane Creek Recreation Parking Lot; bib pickup requires a photo ID and entries are non-transferable. Runners must attach timing chips to their shoes or no time will be recorded.
All finishers receive a custom race shirt and a finisher's medal. The event is part of the Run Moab Series and receives logistical support from a local 4x4 tour operator for remote aid station access. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
