Run Info: Seasoned ultra runner or first timer, either way we got you! Our one mile course is challenging but beautiful. Expect an old school, low key, grassroots vibe. We’re here for a good time! Our aid station at the start finish will have a variety of offerings through the day starting with fresh fruit, salty snacks, and electrolytes and moving towards more real food, grill cheese, quesadillas, hot soup, etc as the day moves along. There is space for a chair and a cooler next to the course at the start finish. We can probably squeeze in some additional pop up tents as well if you are willing to share!
Parking: On site, but tight. Please carpool if you can. Reach out if you plan on bringing a large vehicle, like a camper van, big truck, or ambulance (you know who you are) so we can make sure to have a space set aside for you.
