This event requires a crew for support. Roads on course remain open to traffic, so runners and their crews are responsible for safety. Participants must wear lights sufficient to be seen by traffic while it is dark and on open roads, NoxGear or equivalent is recommended. Crews may access runners at safe locations but may not pace from a vehicle; crews must meet runners at parking lots, trail heads, or other safe points.
Aid is limited: a few volunteers will drive course roads and staff trail intersections with supplementary water and occasional snacks, but runners should not depend on that. Breakfast will be available at the Clare Trail Head in front of the Moose Lodge on M 115 at the 100 mile point, timed to each runner's arrival. Pacers may join at the Baldwin Trail Head and must register as pacers; pacer registration is free. Course information will be posted soon.
Runners must complete the course within a 52 hour limit and observe a 32 hour cutoff at the 100 mile mark. Registration closes April 30. Entry fees range roughly from $136.62 to $163.25 USD. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
