Organizers provide two official aid stations plus additional informal stations for snacks and entertainment. Racers must carry a water bottle of at least 24 oz or use a hydration pack. Pets and earbuds are not allowed on the course. Course maps are not released in advance because the route runs on Hood River County Forestry Tree Farm and may change at short notice.
