Trail surfaces include single-track, sand, roots, short climbs, and paved trail. Aid stations are staffed or unstaffed and are stocked with soda, pickles, gummy snacks, electrolyte powder, gels, chips, fruit, salt tablets, band-aids, and basic women’s hygiene items; hot food or coffee is expected at aid stations and glow lights are provided for night miles. Aid stations are spaced roughly between 3.8 and 7.14 miles apart on each leg. Drop bags are collected at the start and may be placed at 49th Avenue and Pruitt Trailhead for both distances, with an additional Ross Prairie drop-bag location for 100 Mile runners.
