Each distance event will have different time limits for each aid station. The cut offs are based on your having enough time to complete the remaining distance and in some cases due to logistical reasons. If the cut off time is in red, that means it is a hard cut off and you will be asked to not continue (you don't have sufficient time to complete the race). If the time is in black, it is just a suggestion.
16 milers- you should have no trouble completing your distance.
30 milers- You need to average a 15 minute mile up through Skulls Gap (that aid station has to be repositioned during the race). To average a 15 minute pace, you will need to run faster initially (on the flat Creeper Trail) so you have more time on the hills. After Skulls Gap, you should have plenty of time.
50 milers- You need to average a 14:24 pace for the entire distance. You will need to take advantage of the flatter sections so you have extra time on the hills. The times in black are estimates only, some are probably too generous.
