Logistics, cut-offs and rules
Registration opens in advance and places are limited: the 25K is open to the first 1,000 entrants and the 50K to the first 400 entrants. Registration closes in February. The race has strict policies: no refunds, no deferrals, no bib switches, no transfers, and no bandits. Both distances use hard cut-offs at specific mile markers to ensure target finish windows (9 hours for the 25K and 10 hours for the 50K); runners who miss those cut-offs may be pulled or directed onto a different course. Bib pickup is available the day before and on race day. There is no electricity or water at the site; participants are asked to fill packs or bottles before arriving. An ice trailer will be available near the registration tent. Spectator access on the course is limited; designated accessible aid stations include Hyner View State Park and Hyner Run State Park. Volunteers may take and share event photos after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
