Course, rules and awards

The course uses Johnson Branch Trails with dirt single track, rooty trails, ATV roads, and paved trails; the 5K is entirely on pavement. The organizer states the course is hilly, with about 900 feet of elevation per 15-mile loop. A headlamp is required for all participants. The event is a no-cup race, so runners must bring their own water-carrying system.

The 25K loop is used for all distances and the 100K allows one pacer per runner only in the final loop. The 25K RUCK has weight requirements: runners over 150 lb must carry a 30 lb ruck; runners under 150 lb must carry a 20 lb ruck. Ruck sacks or vests are allowed.

Event items include a tri-blend long sleeve, finisher medals and patches, age-division first place awards, a special 50K finisher medal, a 100K finisher buckle, and a DFL award for the 100K. Aid stations, course marking, and photography are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
