This is a cupless event; runners should bring a reusable cup. Drop bags are allowed at the start/finish for 50K and 26K runners. Crews are permitted only at the start/finish area and pacers are not allowed.

For 2027 logistics, 5K and 9K runners must park at Mountain View Church and use free shuttles into the park; 17K runners are encouraged to do the same.
