Course, support and requirements
The course is primarily trail running - listed as 99% trail and 1% road - with a mixture of wide, soft trails, runnable climbs and a number of much steeper ascents and descents. The field is marked with pink Tyvek ribbons and Centurion arrows; there are some road crossings that will not all be marshalled. Nine stocked aid stations are provided, including the start/finish aid station and the Hale Lane aid station (which falls at about mile 5.5 of each lap). Medical cover includes a static team at the start/finish and a roving team. Pacers and crew are not permitted; supporters are allowed on course except at Hale Lane. Mandatory equipment requirements include a charged mobile phone, survival blanket, whistle, waterproof jacket with sealed seams, warm hat, gloves, a dry long sleeve layer, and a personal cup. Awards include a finisher medal and podium and veteran-category prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
