Course and support

The primary course is an 8 mile loop around the park that uses the Riverwalk Trail (orange), Longleaf Pine Trail (purple/blue), and Stagecoach Trail (yellow). About 90% of the course is on trail and 10% on road. One loop has approximately 125 feet of elevation gain and descent. Trails include roots, twists and turns, and water crossings and bridges. Flags serve as confidence markers and arrows mark turns.

Aid stations include a fully furnished Start/Finish pavilion with on-site and portable restrooms, and a mile 4 station with water, electrolytes, and snacks; the mile 4 station closes at 5:00 P.M. Pacers are allowed only for the 50K and only for the final two loops, with one pacer per runner. Dogs must be leashed; off-leash dogs result in a DNF. An 8 Mile Ruck division is offered with dry weight recommendations and gear restrictions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
