Dogs are not allowed to accompany a participant on the course or be at any of our event areas (start/finish, aid stations, check-in, etc.). We love dogs just like most of you, but it is a confusing environment and energy for them. We have seen the best of dogs act abnormally. Not everyone is comfortable with dogs.

At most of our events, the trails remain open to the public, which includes spectators, and they must follow the park/venue guidelines for pets on and around the course.

Service Animal Policy:

Individuals with service animals have the right to full and equal access to public places and transportation, provided the animal is under the handler's control. We may ask if the animal is required for a disability, and what work or task it is trained to perform.

Reasons for exclusion for a service animal: a service animal may be excluded if it is: 

• Out of control and the handler doesn't take effective action.
• Not housebroken.
• Poses a direct threat to the health and safety of others.

Note: A fear of animals or allergies is not a valid reason to deny access to a service animal

Handler responsibilities for the service animal:

• The handler is responsible for the care and supervision of the service animal at all times.
• The animal must be under control, usually with a harness, leash, or other tether.
• The handler is liable for any damage the animal causes. 

es, but we recommend only one side or the open ear style. Volume should remain at a level where you can still hear your surroundings.

After parking in the main field, walk up to the barn pavilion where you still see the start/finish arch, aid station tent, and TROT trailer. Packet pickup is located inside the pavilion and can be done during the final hour before your race start, or throughout most of the week while the other events are running (just please wait for a time when our staff is not busy with race operations).

There are full-facility indoor washrooms and showers next to the barn pavilion (please take care of this place). In addition, we will have extra porta-potties located near the start/finish, as well as the personal support area with hand-washing stations. Please take all trash up to the main dumpster, behind the washroom facility. Do not use the private residence dumpters on the driveway or litter on the property.

Free race photos will be available here on the RunSignup page and on the TROT Facebook the Friday after race week. Check the TROT Instagram and Facebook feeds throughout the event for live action coverage and updates.

Yes, but this is typically not necessary for Jackalope Jam, as the bib pickup process is very quick and next to the start line. As long as it's not last-minute before the start, you can pick up your packet from the pavilion anytime throughout the week.

The TROT Tent and Trailer will be set up with our staff and awesome volunteers helping keep you going all week long. There may be some periods we step away, but just ask if you need anything in particular or have requests, hot or cold. We will have all the snacks and typical aid station light meals each day. With that being said, you should plan on bringing your own race nutrition and larger meals, especially if you need something particular.

Typical items include: Pancakes, bacon, noodles, waffles, soup, hash browns, perogies, crockpot, pizza, mac and cheese, quesadillas, grilled cheese, garlic knots, oatmeal, sandwiches, donuts, kolaches, and all your typical aid station buffet snacks of sugars and salts: chips, cookies, pickles, treats. Fluids include: water, NeverSecond C30, Gatorade, Pickle Juice, soda's, and ice. 

Come and Go: The ranch is open throughout the week, and the timer doesn't stop until the end. It is common for our runners to leave the ranch and return to complete more laps. Just be sure to start your next lap from the point you last stopped on the course. Do not cross the start/finish line with your bib (timing chip) during the event, unless you are completing a lap in its entirety.

Once the races begin, our live tracking on the RunSignup page will be live for each event. This is the best place to keep track of your laps and share your progress (short time delay). We will have a live lap reader screen at the start/finish if you would like to ensure your last lap is registered in real-time. Feel free to ask the race director/timer on duty, and we can double-check results and make corrections as needed. Additional timing tags will be available if you change layers and forget your bib.

The course is 1 mile out to a cone, and 1 mile back to the pavilion, along a dirt/gravel/trail farm road.

Each race will start under the arch at 9 AM each day, after a brief race meeting with the race director for final instructions.

The course goes north down the farm road 1609 meters (one mile), to the "cone of death". If you do not go around the cone, your lap does not count. Once around the cone, return through the arch to log your lap. You may then depart for your next lap or anything else you need to do before heading back to the cone. Repeat. Again, do not come through the arch, unless you've been to the cone first. No partial laps. No official laps once the event duration has elapsed.

See the Strava map for course details.

Yes, once you complete a lap, you are free to do as you please before returning to the course where you left off. Do not cross the timing mats unless you have been to the cone and back. It is common for participants to leave the ranch and return to complete more laps.

At the main barn and washroom area. BYO plug/charger. Please be careful not to disrupt any of the race electronics. Ask before plugging in. Do not plug in electronics that have a large power draw (blenders, fridge, water pumps, kettles, battery banks, A/C, heaters, etc.) without asking first - they will trip the power system and shut down race operations; timing, lights, communications, etc.

No, we do not allow pacers at this event. Crew can only give assistance to you in the crew/aid/personal tent area (before the gate on course).

Yes, please check out with the RD before leaving to collect your race medal and ensure your personal area is completely clean. There is no DNF recorded in a time format race, just your cumulative distance is recorded.
