Athlete Set-Up Area (50k runners)
When you come in for each loop there will be an area near the finish line where you can set up your belongings see course map. You will essentially cross the finish line and see our aid station and then be able to access your setup before continuing on the loop.
There is space for you to set up an ezup tent past the finish line, but it will be first come first serve.
We will have tents set up near the finish line so if you have just a bag/minimal belongings you can stash under our tents to access as well.
The parking is right after the finish line, so due to bad weather we might be getting, you could access your belongings from your car (this is off the loops slightly or the pavilion we checked in at (further off the loop)

Bad Weather

There is a chance of bad weather Saturday so just be prepared with dry clothes, extra socks, anti-chafe (we will have Squirrel Nut Butter samples available at check-in

50k Loops & 10k Finish

When approaching the finish line please run up the left side on the grass straightaway. This will allow those who are looping through to make a U-Turn and then head back out on the loop on the opposite side to avoid confusion and collisions. We will have this indicated on race day as well.

Timing & Awards

Timing will be done using the Ultrasignup app so I will need to see your bib number as you are coming through for each lap and for the finish.
Please have your bib number visible so i can record your time.
This allows me to also be able to publish results right away once the race is over. We will try to have a live link available as well for the 50k.
All runners in both races will receive a custom finisher medal
The Top Three Male & Female Runners will receive a Custom award as well. For the top male/female in each race we will have hats as prizes from our sponsor Path Projects.
