Aid provision is nontraditional: the event is cupless and uses local Taco Bell locations as aid stops. At each stop participants encounter a Wheel of Fate that determines a food item. Participants are expected to carry their own refillable bottle for hydration.
GPX files are provided for each distance. Race shirt orders are placed on July 25 and shirts are not available through registration after that cutoff. The organizer notes a registration closing date of August 7 and also indicates registration will remain open until the event sells out.
The event emphasizes a community oriented, food themed experience with light course infrastructure and unconventional aid stops rather than traditional race prizes or podium focus. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
