The race takes place in early June in a hot, humid swamp environment. Primitive camping is available nearby with no hookups. Dogs are not allowed on the course.
Course and logistics
The course uses the Jericho Horse Trail with two loop options - a 16 mile loop and an 18 mile loop - combined as required by each event. Surfaces are dirt fire roads and single-track trail and the terrain is described as flat. The 10k is an out-and-back with no aid on route; runners should plan to carry their own fluids. Pacers are allowed for the 50 miler and 100 miler beginning at the halfway mark.
Three fully stocked aid stations are placed along the course and a main start/finish aid station will offer food and typical ultra snacks. Porta potties will be at the start/finish and at both aid stations. Runners must check in at each aid station; if unmanned, self-check via clipboard. Night sections require a personal light. Cutoff times: 25k - 6 hours, 50k - 12 hours, 50 miler - 19 hours, 100 miler - 33 hours. Refunds are not offered; race credits and bib transfers follow the event policy.
