Participant Support and Safety
Feed and drink stations are positioned approximately every three miles along the course, offering various food and beverage options. The event operates as a cup-less race, and runners are encouraged to bring their own reusable bottles or cups.

Downloadable GPX files are provided to assist with navigation.
