Parking

We have limited parking and we encourage you to carpool to make sure we have enough room. When you arrive at the school you will be directed to parking. Please do not park in the fire lane in front of the school and please tell your friends and family arriving later the same. Cars parked on Linebrook Road near the school will be ticketed.

The Start

Runners will first run a 1.1 mile loop around the school, then will begin the main 10 mile loop.

The Home Stretch

Runners must start the last loop by 2:15 pm! The cutoff will be strictly enforced.

All runners must leave the midpoint aid station by 3:30 pm! The cutoff will be strictly enforced. Runners who miss the cutoff will be transported back to the start/finish.

There is a 8:30 Hour Time Limit.

Aid Stations and Drop Bags

There are two aid stations. One aid station is near the midpoint of the 10 mile loop, and one is at the start/finish. Runners pass the start/finish after the initial 1.1 mile loop and as they finish each 10 mile loop.

Aid stations will be well stocked with water, tailwind, gatorade, soda, munchies, sandwiches, GACers, advice, etc. We plan to have some vegan offerings at the finish line aid station.

We will have limited cups available for fluids. Please carry your own bottles or hydration packs to reduce cup waste. Each aid station will have separate bags marked for trash, recyclables, and compost. Please help us separate waste by using the right bag!

There will be a place at the start/finish line for drop bags. There will not be anyone guarding the bags. There are no showers available.

Answers to FAQs

  • Bandits are not welcome and will not be given aid. Running with someone else's number is also banditing.

  • There is no elevation profile available - it is rolling or flat, with a few hills, the largest single climb being 150 feet.
