Three fully stocked aid stations are located along the course; a main aid area at the start/finish provides meals and a variety of snacks, while two on-course stations supply usual ultra foods and cool treats. Porta potties will be available at the start/finish and at both aid stations. Runners must check in at each aid station. Night running portions require a personal light and spare batteries or power. Pacers are permitted for the 50 and 100 mile events at the halfway mark with one pacer bib and one pacer present at a time.

Primitive camping is available onsite without hookups and with porta potties; runners may leave drop bags at the start/finish or at their vehicle. Dogs are not allowed on the course during the race. The event participates in a Swamp Series where accumulated miles across three races determine male and female series winners.
