Course, support and rules
The course is a non-technical out-and-back. Runners leave camp on a wide dirt road for approximately 0.75 miles, then follow the Santos Paved Bike Path for about 1.25 miles to a marked turnaround at mile 2, then return to camp for a 4-mile loop. The route has minimal elevation and is described as suitable for road or trail shoes and for rucking. Hydration and light snacks are provided between legs, and finishers receive an award and a challenge patch. As this takes place in a state park, participants must follow campground rules; violations may lead to disqualification and removal.
Rucking division rules require pack weight verification at check-in. Minimum dry weights are 20 lb for women, 20 lb for men under 150 lb, and 30 lb for men 150 lb and over. Packs must be backpacks worn on the back, carried for the entire race, with no outside assistance or weight sharing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
