Course and logistics
The course is a loop of about 1.1 miles with 340 feet of elevation gain. The loop is on an old logging road with a wide double-track trail, two significant climbs, runnable sections, and a downhill through a field to the start/finish area. Runners are responsible for tracking their own loops and may complete as many loops as they wish within their event time limit; there is no time limit for a single loop.
Runners may accept crew and aid anywhere on course but must provide their own crew setup; large tents at the start/finish are not provided. Water and electrolytes will be available, but individual runners must provide their own nutrition. Camping is allowed in the large field; camping tents requiring stakes are not permitted in the start/finish area. Pacing and company rules vary by division; some divisions allow pacing, others allow only brief company, and some do not permit pacers. Training plans and camping gear rentals are offered by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
