Course Information
The course is a 10.48 mile loop set in a pine barren area of Long Island. The route is described as providing a secluded trail running experience. A detailed course map is available online.
Aid Stations and Support
There are two aid stations on the loop: the start/finish area named North Country and another at approximately 5.5 miles named Whiskey Girl. Aid stations provide typical ultra-running food items like PB&J, pretzels, chips, candy, fruit, broth, and perogies, with hot food like pizza and burgers potentially available later. The event offers significant support, including the possibility of ordering supplies from a nearby grocery store.
Race Rules and Cut-offs
Participants must complete the race distance they start; otherwise, they receive a DNF (Did Not Finish). The course closes for all races at noon on Monday, providing a generous cutoff time.
Pacers and Crews
Pacers are permitted, starting around dark, and do not incur a fee, but organizers request advance notice. Crews are generally allowed at both aid stations, though restrictions for the Whiskey Girl aid station may apply depending on permit rules and registration numbers.
