Logistics and race details
Included items listed by the organizer are a gender-specific race shirt, a finisher's medal, and stocked aid stations. Traction devices such as micro-spikes are allowed when conditions permit; snowshoes are permitted if snow depth exceeds 6 inches. In deep-snow conditions the 50k’s first loop may be closed and 50k participants could be redirected to run the 16-mile course twice. Drop bags are allowed at the start/finish area only and are accessible whenever a participant is at that area. Parking inside the park is limited; most participants are required to park off-site at a park-and-ride and use shuttles to reach the event. All participants who complete their distance receive a unique finisher’s award; no podium or age-group awards are offered and awards will not be mailed. Volunteers earn HPRS credits for service.
