Course and logistics
The event uses a continuous loop of 4.0 miles that follows the New Boston Rail Trail along the Piscataquog River to a turnaround at Lang's Station, then returns and follows a gravel service road around the fairgrounds. The loop is described as largely flat with one minor speedbump. The course will be marked with signs and flags.
Loop tracking is handled with chipped bibs at the Start/Finish; bibs should be worn on the front of the body. There is one central aid station at the Start/Finish supplying water, NUUN, Tailwind, sodas, fruits, energy gels and other food. Lunch and dinner options are provided for multi-hour runners, and 24/30 hour runners receive breakfast. Pacers are not allowed for the 6 hour event; 12, 24 and 30 hour entrants may use one pacer at a time after dark. Pacers and crew must purchase food tickets. Dogs are not allowed on the grounds. Tents, small pop-up canopies and RVs are allowed; quiet hours are 10pm-7am. Runners in the 12, 24 and 30 hour events must supply their own headlamps. Daylight savings time ending does not change the 24 or 30 hour race durations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
