Logistics and Regulations
This event follows a self-sufficient format. There are no aid stations, crews, or pacers permitted. Instead, runners utilize four 5-gallon drop buckets placed 15.5 miles apart. Participants are responsible for packing their own food, drinks, and essential gear into these buckets, which are transported to specific locations by the race crew.
Runners must navigate the course without the assistance of GPS watch maps, although watches may be used to track mileage. A mobile phone must be carried at all times. The event has a total time limit of 48 hours. Individuals who complete the course within this timeframe and according to the rules receive a buckle and a long-sleeve technical finishers shirt.
