Course Info
The course is a USATF certified (#17001BW) 0.50849 miles.
There are no sharp turns, no U-turns, and very little elevation change. Runners will be able to set up tents or personal aid in designated areas along the course. Direction change on the course every 6 hours.
The road will be divided into two 8’ wide running lanes.
The inside lane will be for runners trying to qualify for the 24-hr team or run open records etc.
All other runners will be required to use the outside lane. Distances in each lane are measured separately, so runners in the outside lane will get full credit for the distance covered, and relieve you of any added "pressure" of having to get out of the way of the USATF qualifying runners.
Timing provided by Wilson Timing. The race will be chipped timed with monitors for race day splits. Brandon Wilson, a USATF Official and Class A course certifier, will be timing the event. His team is highly regarded for their attention to detail which affords runners the best opportunity to reach goals.
Live Timing Updates will be available every time a runner crosses the timing mat.
USATF Rules are in Effect
Each competitor who is running a spot on the U.S. team, a World, National, or Age Group record should be familiar with USATF rules.
Most important:
1). NO AID can be taken outside of the designated Aid Station area. This area will have ample space, and be well defined.
2). No outside pacing of any kind is allowed! a) this makes an athlete ineligible for any records or qualifying for the US team b) Even if you are not going for a record or the team the course needs to be clear for competitors.
Aid Station/Bathrooms
The aid station will reflect the needs of participating athletes. We will consult early registered participants to determine aid station needs.
Indoor bathrooms are located within 25m of the course. Portable bathrooms on the opposite side of the indoor bathrooms will be available within feet of the course.
