Course, logistics and post-race

Race headquarters is at Wilson Lodge in Ontario County Park. Parking is available next to the lodge, and park roads and parking will be plowed if needed. The main park road is one-way, counter-clockwise. The course avoids a western slope prone to deep drifts and is subject to change for trail or weather conditions. Organizers note a high probability of snow on the course, recommend appropriate traction, and state that snowshoes are not permitted.

Post-race amenities at the heated lodge include restrooms, a fireplace, pancakes with local maple syrup, hot beverages (Chai Guy chai latte, hot chocolate), Skratch hydration options, fruit, and snacks. Event policies list no fees for participant transfers, distance switching, deferrals, or refunds; refunds and deferral deadlines are specified by the organizer.
