Additional Race Details
Site Map
Please consult the site map for details of the main area that will be used for timing, aid stations and gear storage. Tents can be set up for 24 & 48-hour participants. 6 & 12 hour participants will have space for gear, but make sure your gear is weather proof as we will not be setting up any tents for participant gear.
Route & Distances
The route will bring you through beautiful forest, much of which is along the Assiniboine River. Each loop will be approximately 5.1 km or 3.16 miles. To meet the distance goals, recognizing that people will do extra distance or less depending how you run the loop and how much walking you do in the transition area, you need to complete the following number of loops.
- 50k = 10 Loops
- 100k = 20 Loops
- 100 mi = 32 Loops
- 150 mi = 47 Loops
- 200 mi = 63 Loops
Timing
We will use the UltraSignup timing app for this event and there will be no live tracking. Results will be posted on UltraSignUp a few days following the event.
After each loop your time will be recorded, please ensure that the timer has noted that you’ve come through the timing area.
Cutting the course or cheating of any kind will not be tolerated.
Aid Stations
Participants of the 24 & 48 hour events can expect ramen noodles, broth, perogies and cheese quesadillas for hot food. Volunteers will also be available to use the stove or boil water for you in the “kitchen tent” if need be. Anything beyond that should be brought in on your own, and stored in your own aid station area.
Those participating in the 6 & 12 hour events will have a separate aid station area and can expect standard fare such as chips, candy and water. Feel free to bring whatever additional food & drink you may want.
Exact aid station supplies will be provided in the racer email prior to the event.
Steps will be taken to ensure that food is handled and provided in a way that is safe and conforms to COVID-19 protocols.
Drop Bags – All participants will have a designated area for their stuff. Amount of space provided will be larger for those in the longer timed events.
Crew – Family, friends and crew are allowed to help you through the aid stations, though we ask the you limit the number of people who support you as they count toward the total number on site for capacity limits. Additionally, we ask that they don’t get in the way of timers or aid station volunteers.
Pacers – Pacers are allowed for the final half of the 24 & 48 hour events. They are, however, to be self-sufficient. Food at the aid stations is for racers only.
Cup Free Race – At the aid stations, there will be beverages available that you may not want to put in your bottles/hydration bladder. If this is the case, please bring your own cup as we are a cup-free race.
