GPX tracks will be emailed before the event and participants must preload them into their chosen map app and use them to navigate. An inReach or similar satellite messenger with an active subscription is required.
Entry requires naming a prior hard trail 100k or longer as a prerequisite. Finish verification depends on submission of the participant GPX track and photographic proof such as selfies at the summit of Jolly Mountain and other specified locations. The start location is the southeast corner of Roslyn Pioneer Park, with a nearby bathroom adjacent to the start. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
