REGISTRATION AND CHIP PICK UP:
REGISTRATION AND CHIP PICK UP:
You can pick up your ankle chip from the registration table starting one hour (1 hr) before your race is to begin. Your ankle chip must be worn at all times while on the course. It is attached to a Velcro band for easy on / off if you want to change or remove it while sleeping. We must get the chip back when your race is finished. If you plan to take an extended break and leave property you must leave your chip in the timing tent.
LAP COUNTING:
LAP COUNTING:
Laps will be tracked for each runner using MyLaps ProChip timing & scoring system. As each runner crosses over the mat to mark a “split,” the system will record it. Since the mat will be passed each time the runner circles the course, each split is thus equal to one lap. One word of caution regarding the counting of laps; Only completed laps will count towards your overall total mileage.
Pacers: This is a very simple course and pacers will not be allowed. You would have to work hard to get lost and in the spirit of competition try to do your best on your own efforts.
Any two or more registered runners, can run together as much as they desire. This is true no matter which race you are entered, all runners will be using the same course.
Trekking Poles: No Poles Allowed.
AID STATIONS:
AID STATIONS:
One aid station will be open from 9:00am on Monday through Sunday morning. The aid station is run by the finest crew of ultra running cooks. They will prepare an array of food that keeps you full of energy and your palate entertained. Special Veggie / Vegan foods are available through out the entire event. It will also be stocked with the usual ultra fare as well as hot and cold food for the entire event. Participants and crew will have access to prepare their own special concoctions. Access to the walk in refrigerator is available to everyone as well. Please notify Race Director if access to kitchen is wanted. PLEASE NOTE THE AID STATION FOOD IS NOT FOR CREW AND FAMILY. Also, your aid starts once your race starts and not before.
