Stations are stocked with water, ice, an electrolyte drink brand, salty and sweet snacks, fruit, peanut butter and jelly, bean rollups, and hot food such as quesadillas and grilled cheese. A designated drop bag area is available at the start and finish.

Crews are allowed only at the start and finish area. Pacers are not allowed for any distance. Courses are marked with orange plastic ribbons with black polka dots, reflective medallions, laminated junction signs, and blue and white checkerboard flagging for wrong way trails. MedStar Solutions medical staff will be on site and may remove runners for medical reasons.

The park charges a vehicle entry fee and offers developed campsites with hookups, picnic tables, and restrooms with showers.
