Course, facilities and race services
Racing takes place on a USATF-certified 400-meter rubberized track at the Town Hall in Mount Pleasant. The track is lit for night running. Every four hours the direction of travel on the track will be changed. An electronic display near the start will show laps, distance, and race information.
Basic facilities include two porta-potties near the track and access to an open gymnasium with men’s and women’s restrooms, showers, and a kitchenette with fridge, coffee machine, and microwave. The aid station will offer water, electrolyte drinks, sodas, simple foods (for example peanut butter and jelly, gummies, chips, bananas) and limited hot foods such as broth, soup, quesadillas, omelets, and coffee. Participants are responsible for their own special dietary needs. Volunteers are recruited for setup, the aid station, timing, and breakdown.
