Race starting lines/Bus info
Thank you to all the amazing Volunteers that make the race possible!
100 solo, 100 relay, 50 mile:

Time: 7:00 am

Getting a ride to the race start, then a PRO tip is to have your driver can drop you off outside the gates, and then head to the first crew access aid station. This will help them get a parking spot.

*reminder that you can not leave car at Sinnissippi park. Once cars pull into the park, they can not leave until after race starts, then park clears out quickly.

100 mile & 50 mile Race morning bus pickup is at your finish line. All buses leave for starting line at 5:10 am

50k:
Start Location: Aid station 7/15

Time: 5:00 pm, you can start later if you would like to pace a runner.

50k Bus pick up: leaves at 2:30 pm and takes you to starting line. You can pick up your bib here, then swag at finish line.
Drop Bags
Size matters: Keep your bags a reasonable size/weight. 24 x 12 x 12 inches or smaller

We will have some water resistant drop bags for sale at packet pick up.

Mark your drop bags with your:
Name
Race- 100, 50 , or 50k runner
Aid station number.
This information is important to help us get your bag where you need it and to the finish line.

Where do you leave them?
Friday's safety/race meeting leave your bag on the tarp that is labeled for the station you would like it to go to at Friday's meeting.

You are welcome to drop off your own bags at stations.

*Reminder- Race morning we will deliver drop bags to aid station 10/12 (50 finish) and the 100 mile finish line only.

Drop bags will be returned to finish line as aid stations close down. Some of the stations that are open very long, we will pick up bags a couple time through the night and bring to finish line.
This is Megan, she is the tough lady delivering all the drop bags to the aid stations, then on to the finish line after the race. Help her out by following instructions.
Following the race course
Follow race signs and the course is easy to follow.

  • The spot to pay the closest attention is going in and out of aid station 7 & aid station 15. We call this "Confusion Corner". We have not had problems there, but please pay attention.

  • On the out & back section of course. Be sure you head out going in the correct direction.
