Headlamps are required for the 50K and 50 Mile at night. Ruck entries must meet weight rules: 20 pounds for participants 150 pounds or less, 30 pounds for those over 150 pounds. Aid stations are located on the main loop and at loop-specific points and provide hot and cold foods, snacks, water, electrolytes, pickle juice and ice.
