We are implementing a HARD 4.5 HOUR first lap cutoff for the 50k runners.  However, as in year’s past, as long as the runners and the race sweep are through the last aid station before the cut off, we will wait and record everyone as an official finisher! 
  Drop Bags Drop Bags will only be allowed at the finish line area, this is also the start of the second lap for the 50K runners. This ensures that your drop bag is at the finish line ready for you as soon as you finish. Please label your drop bag with your name and BIB number.   Course Markings The course will have a series of directional arrows that will be placed at all intersections. Please follow all directional arrows to stay on course. In the event that you make a wrong turn please backtrack to your original spot of confusion.
