Cutoff rules: there are no cutoffs for the 4.5 mile race or the Half Marathon. Solo 12 hour entries must begin their final loop before the race enters its final hour. Relay teams must begin their final lap before the event cutoff. All laps must be completed before the event end to count.
Support and logistics: one full aid station is located at the start and finish area and will be stocked with water, soda, electrolytes, hot food and snacks. Runners may set up a single tent or table near the start and finish (10x10 canopy max). Crew access is limited to the start/finish transition area. Packet pickup is at the race site unless otherwise announced.
Mandatory gear: all runners need at least 16oz of personal hydration. Participants in 12 hour and 24 hour races must carry two headlamps or one with extra batteries, a foil emergency blanket and a whistle.
