Course and support

The course loops through Morrow Mountain State Park and crosses four of the park's mountain peaks. The park contains 32 miles of trail; the event uses the majority of that trail network. Organizers will provide at least four aid stations along the course offering hot and cold food, gels, and snacks. Huma Gel is listed as the event hydration partner, and runners receive a code in their confirmation emails for free Huma product. Pacers are allowed for the 50 Miler only after the first lap. Crews may be positioned on the course if they do not interfere with other participants. Parking is at the Morrow Mountain Pool Parking Lot, with signs directing vehicles once inside the park. Some details such as packet pickup, drop bags, and check-in are to be determined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
