Packet pickup is scheduled the day before and at the park on race day. Parking is available at the transfer station a few hundred feet from the campground entrance. An area by the lap finish line will hold drop bags for 8H participants. A community food and drink table will be at the start/finish with gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free options; an on-course water and snack station is located about 2 miles into the route. Porta potties will be on site. Children must stay with a parent or guardian, dogs are not allowed, and entry terms include no refunds. Registration closes April 10 at 11:59 PM ET.
