Course, aid stations and rules
The course is a 5-mile out-and-back loop on a mix of mulch, gravel, and singletrack trails with a few hills. Runners complete multiple out-and-back laps: 20-mile, 40-mile, and 50-mile options correspond to repeated laps of the 5-mile loop. The course is not USATF certified and distances may read slightly longer on watches. Two aid stations support the loop, including a Start/Finish station and a turnaround aid station; available items include water, sports drink, soda, fruit, bars, and a range of solid foods. The event is cupless - runners must bring a handheld, portable cup, or hydration vest/belt. One pacer is allowed on the final lap for each runner; pacers must register, sign a waiver, and check in at the admin tent. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
