-You will hit our aid station twice during the race. The station will have water, Gatorade, Huma Gels, Honey Stinger Waffles and Chews. If you need/want specific hydration/food please carry a hydration pack with those items. You will run near your car each loop if need to get something out of it. No aid will be on the course ONLY at the aid station so plan accordingly.
-A bib number will be assigned to you and please wear on the front so we can see it. We will be tracking your laps each time you come in and we need to see that number. We will be doing old school timing using Popsicle sticks.
-My plan is on Friday February 21st to begin marking the course. I will be using orange and pink flags plus orange survey tape at major turns. Arrows signs will also used at turns and yellow caution tape will be place where you are NOT to go. This course has a lot of switchbacks so PLEASE follow the markings NOT the runner in front of you.
-I will be selling plush animal hats for $10 at race. The proceeds will benefit the Laporte County Parks Department.
-Pictures and trail conditions will be posted on our Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1391480931021309/
-Weather conditions are up in the air in past we have had 60 mph winds, 2 feet of snow and one year temperatures in the 60’s. We received about 6 inches of snow last night.
