Mandatory and Recommended Equipment
Given the time of year the route is very likely to be either muddy, icy, entirely snow-covered, or a combination of these conditions. As a result, traction devices (such as Kahtoola Microspikes) will be required and staying on-trail at all times will be MANDATORY.
Be prepared for ice, snow, wind, cold, rain, mud, and sun. There is a strong likelihood you will encounter all of these conditions on race day! Be ready for anything and bring appropriate layers to leave in your car or in a drop bag at the base aid station. Layers will be very important!
12hr participants will need a headlamp for the first 1.5 hours of the event. Sunrise will be at 7:39am, civil twilight at 7:08am.
