The course will be lightly marked with arrows at major junctions and GPX files will be made available for both races. Marshals will be on course. There are two aid stations on the marathon, one aid station on the 20 mile event, and water stops for both. Finishers receive a hot drink, light refreshments and a Trails of Mena medal.
