Course features, services, and rules

The race route passes high-country terrain, pine forest and high desert sections. The event provides four aid stations on the Flagstaff Crest course; aid station supplies include water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, and most will offer a hot meal with vegan options. Crews and pacers are not allowed on the Flagstaff Crest course. Runners are required to carry a GPS-enabled device with the course file downloaded. The event is cupless at aid stations, so runners must carry their own containers for cold drinks. Entry fees are non-refundable; the organizer offers UltraSignup credit options under a published deferral and withdrawal policy. Registration for the listed year closed on April 27.
