Drop Information: If you make the decision to drop during the race it must occur at one of the aid stations. Please keep in mind some of these locations will still require up to a 1 mile hike to get to a vehicle in order to get back to the finish area. This is an important piece to take in to consideration for this race. There are no easy outs once you cross the river at Lower Falls. At this point the race becomes a wilderness event and you must be prepared as such
Finish: The Finish line and celebration will be at the North High Banks Recreation Area- North Shelter We will have food, drinks, and bathroom facilities on site. The food at the post race will be from Fittnell BBQ again this year!
