The 50 K, and 50 Mile endurance runs will begin at 6 a.m. and both races have a 12 hour limit. The 20 K will begin at 8:am. The course features soft dirt trails and fire roads on a 12.5 and 6.1 mile loops. An interesting feature of the longer races is that the organizers allow runners to switch races after one or two loops; 50K to 50M or 20K; or 50M to 50K or 20K, 20K to 50K or 50M (anyone who switches during the race will not be eligible for a trophy however).

Well supplied aid stations will be positioned every two to four miles with easy crew access. All entrants get a t-shirt, pre-race meal, and post -race dinner cooked on site. Trophies will be awarded to the top finishers as they finish. All finishers get a finisher memento. The finisher memento this year will be a custom Tyvek jacket.  All 50 mile finishers will also receive a handsome belt buckle. See details on the mementos.

The runs are sponsored by South Central Regional Medical Center, Horne CPA Group, Touchstone Dental Care, and Jeffrey Le Blanc Orthodontist.
