Organizers note the race takes place during turkey hunting season and recommend wearing blaze orange or high-visibility gear. The event is planned to proceed in rain, snow, or shine, with the organizers reserving the right to modify or cancel the event due to trail conditions, natural disasters, weather, pandemic, or at the request of the Wisconsin DNR or local officials.
