Weight Requirements
These weight requirements apply to all events (5K, 10K, and Half Marathon):
Men: 20 lbs (9.1 kg)
Women: 10 lbs (4.5 kg)

Note: These are dry weights. Water, food, and additional gear do not count towards the weight requirement.

Weight Verification
Weight checks will be conducted at the start and finish of each event
For longer events (10K and Half Marathon), additional checks may be performed during the course
Participants must maintain the required weight throughout the entire event

Additional Notes
While GORUCK Ruck Plates are recommended, equivalent weights (e.g. weight vest plates) are acceptable as long as they meet the weight requirement and can be secured high in the rucksack.

Safety is paramount. Ensure your ruck is properly packed and weighted to avoid injury.

While we won't be providing official pacing groups for the race due to our size, we enthusiastically welcome personal pacers for both the 50 and 100-Mile events. Personal pacers can join 50 mile participants after the 30 mile mark and 100 Mile runners after the 50 mile mark (approximately halfway points). Each pacer must pay a $15 fee that covers park entry, administrative costs, and an official pacer bib. Pacers need to sign a waiver and wear their designated "PACER" bib while on course. Runners are responsible for arranging their own pacers.
