AID STATIONS

Aid Stations Overview

There are three types of aid stations available throughout the event, each designed to provide the necessary support for participants.

Major Aid Stations are fully stocked with a wide range of services and supplies. These stations offer water, hydration (electrolyte drinks), gels, food, snacks, soda, and access to your crew and bag drop. Additionally, they provide medical support, restroom facilities, and serve as timing checkpoints. For those who need to bail out, these stations also offer the option to withdraw from the race.

At Major Aid Stations, you'll find a variety of food to keep you fueled, including Coke, Skratch Hydration, granola bars, bananas, oranges, apples, watermelon, PB&J sandwiches, chips, salty snacks, candy, fruit snacks, pickles, pickle juice, chicken broth (available in the evening), bagels, and trail mix. Rest assured, you won’t go hungry!

Minor Aid Stations provide essential hydration and support, including water, electrolyte drinks, volunteers to assist you, first aid supplies, and vault toilets. These stations also offer a bailout option for participants who wish to withdraw, though note that there will be a 1.2-mile walk back to Timber Ridge if you choose this option.

Minimal Aid Stations are more basic but still offer water, hydration, and a bailout option. Like at the Minor Aid Stations, participants choosing to bail out will need to walk 1.2 miles back to Timber Ridge.
