Course, facilities and rules

The course is a certified 1.000 mile loop on pavement and crushed gravel (about 5% gravel) with a special start/finish area for Marathon and 50K finishes. Timing uses a MyLaps ProChip system and runners wear an ankle chip that must be returned at race end. The course is lit at night and a live display shows laps completed and racer position. Aid station facilities include hot and cold food, vegetarian and vegan options, a walk-in refrigerator and access to a kitchen. The fairgrounds provide heated restrooms with showers, ample parking, grassy camping areas (tent and RV spots available for a fee) and electrical outlets on poles. Pacers and trekking poles are not allowed. Pets on leash are permitted on the fairgrounds. Awards include top-three male and female recognitions for timed races, lifetime-mileage coins, and event-specific belt buckles and coins.
