- Marathon One-way with bus transport provided
- 13 Mile Run One-way with bus transport provided
- Ruck Divisions One-way with bus transport provided
Total field size is limited to 150 runners. Participants must stay on the designated trail at all times; leaving the trail, cutting the course, or using roads can result in disqualification. Pacers and outside aid are prohibited for all distances. Runners are required to carry their own hydration systems because aid stations may not provide cups. Leave No Trace principles apply and violations may lead to disqualification.
Crew support is restricted to designated rest stops and roadside stopping along the Natchez Trace Parkway is not permitted. Ruck divisions are separated into traditional rucking and a weighted vest division, with required minimum carried weights based on bodyweight and only approved weight types allowed. Weights may not be removed during the event and random checks can occur on course or at aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
