Logistics and policies

Aid at the start/finish serves as the central headquarters and offers traditional ultra snacks, electrolytes, soda, and hot food at night; a food truck serves registered runners. Pacers are permitted during the overnight window midnight to 6:00 AM. Packet pickup and camping are located at Rob Jaggers Campground near the start/finish; camping is first-come, first-served. The event requires a reusable cup because it is a cupless race. Awards include buckles for 100- and 80-mile finishes and special buckles or medals for other achievements.
