The field is limited to 200 runners total with specific allocations for each distance. Each event is chip timed and the course has a nine hour time limit for the 50K. Aid stations supply water, Honey Stinger sports drink and gels, and Ultra Food is provided for 50K runners after 10 miles. A portion of every entry fee is donated to the Wabash Trace Nature Trail.

Registered 50K runners may elect to drop down to the half marathon; dropped runners are recognized as finishers and may collect a finisher medal but are not eligible for award placement and receive no refunds.
