Aid Station:   A fully stocked aid station will be at the Start/Finish line, stocked with better then average ultra food!  

Charity Benefactor: Riverbend Park / Battlefield Park 

Registration: RunSignUp.com  The race has a NO Refund Policy in Place, Deferrals are only to the next years event

Packet Pickup: We do packet pick up race morning at the park, you'll get you bib with the timing tag attached from our timer.

Several Volunteers are still Needed!  

You must be registered by the end of the day on March 3rd to be guaranteed a correct size shirt, after that shirts may or may not be available.

Loop Size: For this event we use 2 different size course loops the "Long" loop and a "Short" loop.  Since we have a time limit there is no way the timer could measure partial laps on a 3.32 mile course and get results posted within our time limit. We will run the Long loop till hour 5 in the 6 hour event and hour 9 in the 10 hour event, then if you're not able to complete another full loop you can switch to the Short loop (0.85 miles) to get extra mileage in the final hour. Only completed full loops count, if the clock runs out and you're 6 inches from crossing the timing mat, that loop doesn't count!
