Course Rules and Info

1) Runners must complete the course on their own. Runners must carry their own nutrition, no muling from pacers. The only Aid available for you to meet with your crew is at base station just past the finish of each loop. 2)We will have official timing for this event. If you do not wish to continue at any point please check out with the director at the finish line. Once crossing and "checked in" for the loop completed, exit the finish area and proceed to aid stations or continue running your loops. There will be separation of finish line and aid station so this should not be an issue. You will have plenty of room just be courteous and avoid bottlenecking at the aid. 3)The race will run counter clockwise at all times. there is enough room for 2 people to run side by side but realize we will have people of all paces running and allow room for people to pass. 4) Any course cutting will result in an immediate disqualification. We are running the outer most part of the course and will be well marked so you don't get off track. 5) All 48, 36, 24 and 12 hour runners will be required to have a headlamp or light for after dark. Although some portions of the course may have light it will still be required. 6) No strollers, dogs, bikes will be allowed on the course

FAQ

Do I have to run/walk the entire duration I sign up for? No, you can complete as many loops as you want then call it a day. This is YOUR race. If you have a distance goal and you hit it early it is entirely up to you! All we ask is that you check out before you leave!
