Distances and format
- 20 mile
- 40 mile
- 50 mile
Each lap is a 5-mile out-and-back. Runners complete four laps for 20 miles, eight laps for 40 miles, and ten laps for 50 miles. The course is not USATF certified, and distances may measure slightly longer than on most watches. Each distance has a 12-hour time limit.
Aid, pacers, and awards
There are two aid stations on the loop, including Start/Finish and a 2.5 mile turnaround aid station. Typical aid offerings include water, Tailwind, soda, fruit, candy, granola bars, bacon, pancakes, quesadillas, PB&J, avocado wraps, pizza, chips, and cookies. The event is cupless; runners must provide their own cup or hydration system. One pacer is allowed on the final lap; pacers must register and complete a waiver before registration closes and check in at the admin tent. Registered runners receive an event T-shirt and sticker; all finishers receive a medal. Special awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance.
