There will be a mandatory prerace meeting (for the 100k only) at Rock/Creek at 5:30 pm on Friday December 18th. Packet pick up and drop bag drop off will continue until 7:00 pm.

The 100k race will have an 18 hour cut off.

Due to last year's start time confusion, we would like to explain the phenomena of the sun. Originally, we wanted to start the race at 7:00am EST. However, the sun does not rise until 7:45am. It is a late run if we start at 8:00am. We are asking all perticipants to be lined up at the start and ready to run no later than 7:15am. We will guage the start based on the available light. Please plan accordingly.
