The route will not be marked; GPX coordinates are provided for upload to watches or smartphones. Aid stations are planned at miles 9.9 and 26.2 (Dreamy Draw Trailhead ramada area). Water fountains and restrooms are available at 40th St Trailhead, Dreamy Draw Trailhead, North Mountain Visitor Center and Piestewa Peak Dr. Participants are advised to carry sufficient water and nutrition; a hydration vest is recommended.
