There are marshals at key points but not at every junction. The course is approximately 13 miles (approx) with about 2,000 ft of ascent. A mandatory kit list is required for safety. Finish-line provisions include a meal and a memento. The event raises money for local foodbanks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
