Course and logistics

The course is a 4-mile loop through Tryon Farm. Surfaces include open grassy fields, single-track dirt trails and small sections of pavement. The 8 mile is two loops, the 25k is four loops and the 50k is eight loops. The main station is at the start/finish area. A non-manned water/Gatorade aid station is located near the 1.5-mile mark. Two port-a-potties are available at the main station; there are no bathrooms on the course. Due to no parking at the start/finish, participants will park across the street at Head Start of La Porte County and walk to the course. Time limits: the 4 mile, 8 mile and 25k have seven hours to finish; the 50k has eight hours. Runners are asked to wear their bib on the front of the shirt so loops can be counted.

The host series states an inclusion policy for gender identity and provides a land acknowledgement for the region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
