Each lap has about 100 feet of elevation gain. The event is self-supported with no staff aid on course; support crew are allowed at the venue but support persons are not permitted on the trail. Organizers will call an ambulance if needed; any ambulance expense is the responsibility of the participant. Camping is allowed in a designated area during the race, but no access to farm grounds is permitted before 5:00 AM on May 31. Music will play throughout the event and registrants can contribute tracks to a shared playlist. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
