camping and other accommodations will be available at the ranch.

• It gets dark at night and there are no lights in the woods.  Please bring a headlamp for 12 and 18 hour runs.
• It's April in southern Oregon, so expect hot, wet, snow, rain, wind, and sun.  Seriously though- be prepared for rain and cool night temps as well as sun and hot day temps.
• Switch directions after you finish your first lap after the switch time (ie. don't change directions mid-lap). 
• Winners are calculated by the number of laps started within the time, that are completed.
• As long as you complete 1 lap, you will not receive a DNF.
• Runners must check-out with race officials if they decide to drop early.
• There are restrooms at the start/finish area.
