Course and logistics
The course includes multiple uphill and downhill sections and is described as moderate in difficulty. Some sections use mountain bike trails that are open to runners only on event day. Course maps are provided but are approximations and may change.
Aid stations are placed roughly every 5 to 6 miles and offer water and a variety of snacks. The race is cupless, so participants should bring their own water bottle or hydration pack. Drop bags are allowed and can be sent to Aid Station 3 (miles 8.8, 15.1, and 29.8). There are cutoff points at mile 7, mile 21, mile 27.25, and at the finish; runners arriving after these cutoffs will be asked to stop and will be provided transportation. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each distance, and all finishers receive medals. Packet pickup and on-site conference center facilities are available at Montgomery Bell State Park. Refund and transfer rules apply. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
