Course and race logistics
The event uses two USATF-certified loop courses: a short loop of about 1.17 miles (95% asphalt/concrete, 5% crushed gravel) and a long horseshoe loop of about 2.31 miles. Elevation gain is listed as 36 feet per short loop and 72 feet per long loop. The main aid station operates 24/7 with hot meals and vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options; runners must supply a reusable cup or bottle because the race is cupless. An express water-fill station is available outside the main aid tent. Night sections have some dark stretches; runners are advised to bring lights. Crew and pacer rules vary by race: pacers are not allowed for the USATF 100 Mile Championship; other races permit one pacer on foot during night hours. Facilities include a staging area, a 20x20 warming tent with limited communal cots (three-hour nap limit), onsite parking, and RV parking with placement restrictions.
