Course and logistics
The course is a 1.1 mile loop on an old logging road double-track trail with about 340 feet of elevation gain and two main climbs. Runners are responsible for tracking and logging their own loops; there is no time limit on an individual loop. Camping is allowed in the large field; camping tents requiring stakes are not permitted in the start/finish area, though pop-up canopy-style tents are allowed in the crew area. Runners must provide their own aid and nutrition; the event will supply water and electrolytes. Crews may assist and set up within the designated crew area. Pets and access to houses, porches, and hunting stands on the property are not allowed. Training plans and camping gear rentals are offered by the organizer.
