• Before the start of each loop, we will go through the following protocol as such indicating time until the start.
  • 3 minutes before the start
  • 1 minute before the start
  • 30 seconds will be announced before start
  • 10 seconds will be counted down before the start
  • START (Bell or Horn)
• You have ONE HOUR to finish the loop once it has started. If you finish a loop within the hour, you have the opportunity to start the next hour provided you are in the start corral when the next hour starts. If you do not finish within the hour, you are OUT of the race and considered a DNF.
  • Once you are on the course, you are not allowed any aid from your crew. You are not allowed to return to camp once the loop has started. You must be ON and STAY on the course.
  • Once you are back to the start/finish corral and have finished within the hour, you may use the bathroom, eat, drink, sleep, ponder the next loop, etc., but you MUST be back in the start corral or you will be considered a DNF (NO EXCEPTIONS). This means you MAY NOT start late. You may also choose not to continue though you will be considered a DNF.
• When ending your race you will get your race mug off of the Runner Board and then go to the info tent to turn in your timing chip and pick up your milestone patch.
