Courses use two loop options of roughly 16 miles and 18 miles, plus an out and back for the 10k. Surfaces are dirt fire roads and single track. The terrain is flat but the race takes place in hot and humid swamp conditions in June. Course marking uses blue reflective flags and ribbon and GPS course maps are recommended for navigation.
Three fully stocked aid stations serve the course plus a main start finish aid area with food and cold drinks. Porta potties are located at the start finish and both aid stations. Runners must check in at each aid station. Drop bags are allowed at the start finish or at crew vehicles. Pacers are permitted under event rules for the 50 miler and 100 mile fields with one pacer bib and one pacer at a time. Night running requires a light and spare batteries.
The event runs rain or shine. There are no refunds or deferrals except a one year pregnancy and postpartum deferral. Transfers and distance changes are allowed up to the Tuesday of race week. Entry fees range approximately from USD 66.25 to USD 243.12. Volunteers can earn entry discounts based on hours contributed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
