Main Parking: The main parking area at the lodge has limited parking space and is first come/first serve.
Alternative Parking: If you are not planning to stay on the trail for the entire 24 hours, I ask that you park either in the South parking lot which has access from Crow Run, on both sides of Crow Run or at the Moose Lodge located on Crow Run.
Camping: There are also RV camping spaces at the Moose Lodge which is free but donations are accepted. Remember to lock your vehicle and do not leave valuables in plain sight!

Starting Point: The event starts at the foot bridge of the dam in the main parking lot. Start time is 8:00 AM.

There is a no refund policy. All entries are non-transferrable and there are no deferrals.
Race participant cut-off is 500. Once the cut-off has been reached there will be an option to add your name to a wait list.
We will begin activating names from the wait list once the number of entrants drops below 500. When your waitlist entry has been activated, you will have 48 hours to register before the link expires.
If you are registered and for any reason cannot attend, please contact me so those on the wait list will have a chance to participate.

This is a USATF Sanctioned Event.
