During the 5k, volunteers will be positioned along the course and finishers receive celebratory ice cream sandwiches; water, Gatorade and bananas are available during the 5k. Twelve hour participants have access to a variety of hot and cold drinks and solid food, and a designated area near the start/finish for rest and gear. The 12 hour course includes an unlit back portion where a headlamp or flashlight is recommended.
