READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

August in Montrose averages 20°C.

At this time of year, mornings and afternoons feel very different.

Start line is cool, but the latter part faces the sun directly, so a hat can change your final 5 km.

The venue is in an area without public transportation.

Plan on getting there by car or rental car.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

Ultras are decided by fueling and foot care, not speed.

Break in your shoes and socks thoroughly before race day, and if there are nighttime sections, bring spare batteries for your headlamp.

The 07:00 start is early.

Counting backward from wake-up, breakfast, and travel, it is more convenient to stay the night before near start line.

Times are local to Montrose. Check the latest official information before the race.
