Time Cut offs – We do feel we need to have some limit to ensure safety and not over-burden Park officials and volunteers. We are going to “loosely” hold 50K runners to a 20 minute-per-mile limit – This means 4 hours at first passing of aid station #3 at 12.25 miles & 8 hours at same point next loop. If you have not reached aid station #3 by these times, you will be asked to head back or receive a ride back to finish area.

Packet pick up / late registration is Friday, April 22 from 4:30 to 6 PM CST & Saturday, April 23 from 6:30 to 7:45 AM at the pavilion across from the Nature Center located near the North entrance of the park.
