Aid Station Food: The usual trail run fair (eg. fruit, chips, candies, water, Gatorade). If you prefer something special, we suggest that you carry it with you.
Like many other trail races, this year (and for the future) we are going cupless; so no cups at aid stations. You’ll need to bring your own drink bottles/containers/cups. Much less garbage & litter, which helps keep our trails and environment clean!
