Course, aid stations and rules
The course is a roughly 33.4-mile loop with a mix of paved paths and single-track trails that pass lakes and wooded areas. The event uses two fully manned aid stations at Hyde Lake Pavilion (start/finish) and Tour de Wolf Pavilion; runners will visit the Tour de Wolf Aid Station twice each loop. There is at least one additional unmanned aid station on course. Drop bags are permitted at both manned aid stations and covered sleeping areas are available there. Runners may sleep in vehicles at aid stations.
Key rules include no dropping to a shorter race distance during the event, no muling, no crewing outside manned aid stations, and no cutting the course. Pacers are allowed for the 300, 200 and 100 mile distances with limits (one pacer at a time, pacers must sign a release, pacers may not carry supplies for the runner). No pacers are permitted for the 53K or 25K. Refunds are not permitted; entries may be deferred for partial race credit if done in advance.
