Course and logistics
The loop is a 1-mile off-road route that starts and finishes at a barn on gravel, goes downhill into woods, crosses an open field along Beaverdam Creek, passes through pine trees and hay pastures, and returns to the barn. Participants must complete the first lap at dusk and the final lap at dawn to be recorded as finishers. The overall winner is the participant who completes the most laps by sunrise. Headlamps and flashlights are used during night hours. No strollers or pets are allowed on the trail. An aid station will be stocked with snacks, water, and hot food.
