Course and race logistics
Racing is staged around Menomonee Falls High School on a 1-mile loop described as flat. The course uses chip timing for start and finish and records chip-timed splits every mile; mile splits are shown on timing clocks along the course. The course has two aid stations: one with cups of water and bananas, and one for participant-supplied personal aid placed on tables organized by bib number. The course has a four-hour time limit and will close after that period. Packet pickup is available on race morning and there is an early packet pickup the evening before the event. Awards are given in overall and age-group categories, including Top 3 Overall, Top 3 Master, Top 3 Grand Master (50+), Top 3 Sr. Grand Master (60+), and Top 3 in five-year age groups from 19 & under through 80+. Volunteer incentives and a charity partner opportunity are offered by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
