All ultramarathon entrants receive a tracker; half marathon and 20 mile runners can hire a tracker for a fee. Provisional GPX files and a route description are provided and the final route will be emailed to competitors. Routes are taped the week before the race but participants should not rely solely on tape for navigation.
A mandatory kit list applies to all distances and random kit checks may be carried out on course; failure to carry required kit can lead to disqualification. Each finisher receives a medal and an event T shirt unless they opt out. Checkpoints provide water, energy food and vegan and gluten free snacks. Arriving at a checkpoint after it closes will result in retirement from the race. Support crews must avoid official checkpoints. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
