Course, support, and safety
The course is an approximately 1 mile loop composed of grass, trail, and hard packed dirt. The course is described as generally flat with no significant elevation change. One aid station at the start/finish will provide water, electrolyte drink, sodas, ice, and common ultrarunner snacks such as chips, cookies, candy, and pickles; popsicles and watermelon are likely. The event will not supply pain killers. Participants must provide their own electrolyte pills. Volunteers will staff the race and include runner-heckling. The organizer warns of hot weather conditions in July, high humidity, and risks of hypo- and hypernatremia; the race director may remove participants deemed at risk. Participants may set up personal tents around the start/finish.
Organizer
The event is run by the Georgia Ultrarunning & Trailrunning Society (GUTS), a nonprofit club founded in 2004. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
