The Machete Madness Experience: This is a unique experience as it is more of a mental challenge, but you get to interact more with other runners since you are doing laps and running with each other, definitely a more interactive experience as you get to encourage and push each other to the finish line, your family and friends also gets to see you more often and you can pack lighter as you will have the chance to reload your nutrition and hydration at each lap you complete since the race course loops around into the Campgroup every lap, we will also have another aid station on mile 5 besides the one at the starting line.
Camping: Campground will be available Thursday after 2:00 PM, checkout Sunday at noon. Come and enjoy the beautiful views of the Lake and surrounding mountains. Those doing 50 Miler and 100 Miler will need to camp, you can bring family and friends, pacers. This is Group Tent Campground, no trailers or hookups.
Parking: $10 at the entrance of the Lake.
More bang for your bucks: Free camping for those doing the 50 or 100 Miler, free professional photos taken by the best; The Ultra Photographer Ignacio Saldana Jr., at no additional cost to you!
