The 4-mile option is one loop; the 8-mile option is two loops. An aid station is located next to the finish and offers water, an electrolyte drink, and carbohydrate- or salty-food options such as cookies, energy bar pieces, gels, chews, chips, bagels, fruity candy, fig bars, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and bananas.
