Typical ultra footwear is road shoes; a headlamp is recommended for the first lap. Runners pass two aid stations three times on each 10k loop. The event is cupless - participants must carry their own cup or use a hydration system.

Support crew access is allowed at the start/finish and at a mid-course aid station near Oak Grove.
