Solo runners must complete all 8 laps themselves.

Each runner completes two laps (12.8km/7.9 miles per lap). Each runner can run their laps consecutively or they can reset between laps. It’s all part of the strategy!
The 4 person relay will have 3 categories for finishing place:
1. Open (must have at least one female)
2. Women
3. Men

2 person relay works as follows:
Each runner completes 4 laps (12.8km/7.9 miles per lap). Each runner can run their laps consecutively or they can reset between laps. It’s all part of the strategy! Relay members can be of any gender combination.

If a runner is hurt, can’t finish a second lap, or does not show on race day – there are NO SUBSTITUTIONS. One of the other relay runners will need to pick up the extra lap(s). Substitutions are allowed up until 24 hours before the race starts.

Drop Bags:

Drop bags will be designated at Race HQ. You will have access to your drop bag every 11.1km. Please label them with your name, bib#, & race distance. Please ONLY bring a drop bag if you are a solo runner (no drop bags for relay runners to save space)

Tents:

You may set up your own tent with your own crew, supplies, etc., in the start/finish area. This entire area (entire parking lot) is considering an aid station. However – make sure you check in & out at Race HQ when going to and from your tent. ONLY ONE tent per team please!

Parking:

Parking is NOT allowed in the immediate start/finish area so you’ll have to haul in your tent, etc. Parking will be just outside the start/finish area, along the road leading up to it. You may have to walk a quarter to half mile, depending on when you arrive. IF you bring MORE than one relay team, you may park your car with your tent(s). NOTE: Your relay teams must have the same team name, ie., Here To Run #1 and Here to Run #2.

Race Rules:

1. Have fun!
2. Be Safe. There are many hazards along the course including (but not limited to), mountain lions, rough terrain, rattle snakes, sharp cliffs and drop offs, etc. It is your responsibility to run safe and stay alert.
3. Except in case of medical emergency, runners may accept no aid nor assistance in any form from anyone, including pacers and crews, between aid stations.
4. Each runner must carry all of his own food, fluids, clothing, and other supplies needed for use between aid stations and must carry a minimum of 20oz of water.
5. Littering of any kind is strictly prohibited. Littering will result in the immediate disqualification of the runner in this year’s race, and for all future races.
6. Runners are responsible for the actions of their crews.
7. Participants must follow the marked trail at all times. Any runner departing from the official trail must return to the point of departure on foot before continuing.
8. Each runner must be checked IN at EVERY aid station. Runners not checked at each aid station may not be credited with officially finishing the Run.
9. Lights are REQUIRED for running after dark. For safety reason, you may not be allowed to finish without a light after 5:00PM.
10. Any entrant who is unable to finish the Race must inform personnel at the nearest aid station of his or her decision to withdraw. You MUST turn in your race bib at this time. Runners who leave the course without turning in their bibs will be classified as “lost,” and may be billed for charges incurred in any search and rescue operation.
11. Pacers are ONLY allowed for solo runners and from 5PM and onward OR at the start of your last lap if it is before 5PM. Your pacer MUST check in and get a pacer bib.
