Course and logistics

There are no venue lights at night, so participants must provide their own lighting. A fully stocked aid station is located on course and is staffed 24 hours, with prepared meals and staple items. Crew access and personal drop bags are allowed in a designated area; pacers are not permitted.
Entry, services and rules
Registration uses tiered pricing. Parking requires a daily park entry fee. Camping options are available with a Maricopa County nightly camping fee; some race nights include camping. An onsite EMT will be present for event medical coverage. To be eligible for USATF championship awards and prize money, athletes must hold a valid USATF membership and meet nationality rules; championship competitors may be subject to formal drug testing. All finishers receive a finisher award and top three male and female performances are awarded in each race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
