Your start time, fuel and bag drop. Know them ahead and the run feels easier.
It is a point-to-point course from the start at Whitehorse Creek Overlook to the South Pass City Historic District,
passing through a remote area with almost no amenities.
The nearest gas stations are in Lander, 35 miles to the north, or Farson, 45 miles to the south, so runners should stock up on fuel and supplies in advance.
