Course and aid stations

All races are out-and-back on the NETT Trail, moving east of Paris. The first nine miles of the trail are asphalt; beyond that the trail becomes hard-packed gravel. The course includes some soft-ground sections, gravel segments and bridge crossings. Portable toilets are provided at the start/finish, at the Blossom aid station, and at permanent locations along the NETT; one permanent toilet is near the Reno aid station.

This is a cupless race. All runners must carry a hydration device. Aid stations will offer water, Gatorade, fruit, sandwiches, chips, cookies, soda, Salt Stick and other items. Aid station locations include Mile 4, Mile 8.5, Mile 13.1 and the Start/Finish (used by some distances).

Logistics, support and policies

Pacers are allowed only for the 100K and are limited to the final out-and-back segment or evening sections; pacers must check in and sign a waiver. Drop bags can be left at packet pickup for delivery to the Blossom aid station and will be returned to the start/finish when that aid station closes. Finishers of the 100K receive a buckle; other distances receive finisher medals. Participants who run both a day and night race receive a special pint glass. The race offers a shirt guarantee for registrations completed at least two weeks before race day. The organizer provides a refund/credit policy for cancellations with tiered race-credit amounts. Volunteers earn race credit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
