Course and logistics
The course is a lighted 1/2 mile oval on a dirt track covered with finely crushed limestone; the surface is described as used for horse buggies. The event is held at night and allows participants to run, jog, walk, rest, stop, and start as they choose during the timed period. A large aid station on the track provides snacks, fruit, salty items, soda, PB&J sandwiches, and other food. Runners are asked to bring their own fluid containers; containers may be left at course-side tables with a name. On-site parking is available in a large lot or on the grass infield. Packet pickup is at the race site building near the grandstands and includes a shirt and a bib with timing chip. Dogs are not allowed on the course and must be leashed if brought to the site.
