COST/AID STATION: This is a "Fat Ass" styled event. There is a modest registration cost, to go towards race awards and water/supplies. Every participant is required to bring something for the aid station to share - vegan friendly snacks preferred. We will provide a 5 gallon container of water to refill bottles. Maybe some electrolytes. Anything else, plan to bring yourself! We will use a table by the course for aid station drop off.

TIMING: We will start together at 8am. If you show up late, you will be on your own, but wait a few minutes and you'll see one of us. Timing is pretty laid back. We will have a spreadsheet for race morning. Find your name and record each lap as you come through. It is on the honor system. No partial laps count. Run ends at 4:00 pm or at dusk.

AWARDS: No awards. No medal. Just bragging rights. And knowing you are a certified badass. **Your Race Director has an idea for run awards - the hint: You must be "tough as nails" to complete this run.**
