Course, format and support
The event uses two certified loops with IAU Bronze labels: Loop A is a 400 metre track with a limited number of athletes on the four inside lanes for qualification and record attempts; Loop B is approximately 1.69 kilometre and includes track, pavement, and concrete. Both loops are described as very flat with minimal elevation. Direction changes are coordinated at regular intervals - every four hours for 12 hour and 24 hour events, and every three hours for 6 hour events.
An aid station beside the track operates throughout the event and offers hot and cold beverages and food. The event provides a livestream of race coverage. Registration opens December 1, 2025, and published entry pricing includes early bird and later rates for each distance. The event accepts declared gender categories, including a non-binary option, and awards prizes in three gender categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
