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.

October in Pine averages 3°C, so the cold is a factor.

Plan for a longer indoor wait before the start so you do not cool down, and it is safest to bring gloves, a beanie, and a neck warmer.

Public transportation does not reach the race venue.

A personal or rental car is the only practical way to get there.

Registration is handled through the RunSignup platform.

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

Break in your shoes and socks well before race day, and if there is a night section, bring spare batteries for your headlamp.

The 07:30 start is early.

Counting back from your wake-up time, breakfast, and drive, staying near start line the night before will be more convenient.

Registration closes on October 4, 2026.

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