Event format and entry

The event is described as a free WVMTR club event with no registration fee. Participants are required to register on RunSignUp so an e-signed waiver and emergency information are on file. Joining the club is not required to participate; yearly WVMTR membership is listed at $10.

The format is loop-based, with participants able to access their vehicles at the end of each loop and obtain additional food or aid. Organizers state there are no cut-offs; runners may attempt a distance personal record, aim for a first ultra, or run for a shorter time such as two hours. The event is described as a social gathering focused on trail running and the club’s interpretation of "old school" ultra running. Sponsors are listed as the WVMTR organization.
