Race packets can be picked up starting at 4:15 am at "Stonehenge" (you´ll know it when you see it) within Spooner Lake State Park.

There will be EMT qualified individuals and radio and /or cell phone communications at each aid station.

Parking within the Spooner Lake State Park is limited and there is a $5 per car parking fee. Ample FREE satellite parking will be available at Spooner Junction approximately 1/2-mile from the park. A shuttle service will be available before and after the race. Participants are encouraged to arrive early to allow for the extra time needed to shuttle to the event site. In addition, non-running drivers will be able to drop off participants within the State Park, then park in the satellite parking areas and use the shuttle to the event. We'll provide secure bag storage at the start/finish area.

Finisher awards are too good to be true. We're working on something special and all your friends will be jealous!

All 50-Mile and 50K runners can take drop bags to the start line. Someone will pick them up and take them to the Twin Lakes Aid Station, which is mile 12 for the 50K and 50-mile runners. It is also mile 18 for the 50K runners and mile 28 and mile 34 for 50-mile runners. We will try to have drop bags brought back to the finish line at about 3 p.m. But it is possible that they will not be returned until the end of the day if you are running late. Please be aware of this possibility -- you may want to put in only what you will consume during the race.
PLEASE LABEL YOUR BAGS CLEARLY WITH NAME AND BIB NUMBER.

There is limited access for crew during this race. Don´t worry, the views are so beautiful you won´t miss your friends. We're working to make arrangements for pacers and drop bags to be available at the Twin Lakes Aid Station on Tunnel Creek Road (50 Mile and 50K).
