Facility Layout:
Camping / Pop Up Tents:
Camping is available on site for runners/crews/pacers. Friday/Saturday night the Emerson Center will serve as an indoor camping venue for everyone.
Bring your tents, air mattress, sleeping pads, and spread out within the indoor space of Emerson Center..
You may set up a pop-up tent by the start/finish aid station in the field as well if you want.
Campers are allowed, however there are no hookups or dump stations and they must be parked in the lot by Emerson Center
This is a first come, first serve space for all teams, runners, etc and is asked if you attempt to maintain a clean environment, disposing of trash, etc. to limit cleanup.
No lodging offered Sunday night on Boy Scout property as campus will be vacated by 5pm. If you need other options see opportunities on our website
Here is where the pre-race meal is served as well as the informational Friday Night Pre-Race meeting. There is an indoor bathroom upstairs and showers and bathrooms downstairs as well.
The indoor space is open air with capacity for upwards of 300 persons. Here is where teams, crew and individuals can layout and setup their 'camp' space. We have seen tents, air mattresses, etc. Out the garage doors here about 100yds is the Start/Finish and is viewable from here.
Aid Stations / Drop Bags:
You will be able to keep a drop bag at both aid stations. Please bring them to the lobby at packet pickup and make sure they are labeled with your name/bib# and either Sverdrup or Start/Finish.
We will transport drop bags to the aid stations, however it is your responsibility to get them once you are finished and we are not responsible for lost or forgotten items after the race. If drop bags are left a fee may be incurred for any shipment back to you.
Drop bags should not exceed typical 14 gallon totes 24"Lx16"Wx13"H
***Reminder we are CUPLESS so bring your own cup/bottle for drinks!
Food/water/aid can only be given to runners from crew at the aid stations.
Standard ultramarathon aid station foods will be on course throughout the day. We do our best to have a course of both meal and snack items for runners over the event which may include but not limited to: eggs, bacon, pancakes, burgers, quesadillas, broth, avocado, banana, orange, nutella, PB&J, wraps, sodas, candy, chips, soups, etc.
While we do attempt to be mindful of various diets we cannot guarantee we have something for everyone nor everything you may need to meet those needs. We do ask you plan accordingly if you require other items during your race. As a Trail Sisters approved race we will supply feminine care products within our aid stations for use as well.
Hyle' Hydration is our liquid electrolyte mix.
Post Race: Pizza will be served beginning around 11am Sunday so stick around and eat up!
Pacers:
Pacers are allowed anytime after 40 mi(2 loops) OR 5pm Saturday for solo 100k and 100 mi runners and each runner may only have 1 pacer at a given time.
Pacer Registration: For safety and recognition purposes we are requiring pacers to register under Ultrasignup. The runner will be given a bib for each registered pacer they have who notes them as their runner. If pacers change or are added last minute we do have spare bibs and paper registrations both at packet pickup as well as each aid station should it be needed. This will allow volunteers, timing, and RD's to visibly recognize pacers as well as insures we hold no liability should a pacer get injured in their pacing duties.
**If you need to drop for any reason from the race you MUST let either RD(Jake or Jeff) or Aid station lead know with your bib for proper accounting of each runner.
Runner Tracking:
Timing is provided by Final Lap Racing.
There will be timing mats at both the Start/Finish and Sverdrup Aid stations, you may have friends and family sign up to follow you live, link sent out prior to event.
Splits will be live for all runners as they finish each leg of the loop/course. While it tends to be fairly quick WiFi or or other issues may arise which could delay results of you/your runner.
Start/Finish Aid station timing mat will be outside and the runners will need to go inside to receive aid or to use the bathroom. Sverdrup Aid Station timing mats will require you to go inside. You will go in the door that says in and out the door on the other side of the building to hit both timing mats.
Relay teams will exchange indoors at Sverdrup & outdoors at the Start/Finish.
