Medals:
Medals will be given to all finishers. We understand that sometimes there are circumstances that prevent someone from finishing the race. As a token for your effort we would still like to offer those who make an attempt at any distance, a medal to commemorate the miles they did complete. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder to comeback and get the job done!
Awards:
For Trivium, Awards will be given out to the Top overall male and female winners of each distance.
Shirts:
Everyone will receive an event shirt so long as you are signed up before the shirt cutoff date which is Oct 10th. If you do not sign up by this date you will receive some other item, whether it be a past year event shirt, or Perspective Pacing garment, either way you'll have a couple of options.
Course Map
For this years event, due to the flood, the bridge that was near our main aid station on the course was washed out, which has made several miles unavailable for use. All events will find their turn around on Mormon Mill Road, and will have signage on a stake indicating the turnaround for each specific distance. We will also have the turnaround spray painted on the road, and a flag with our brand on it. The 5k 10k and 13.1mi. will be an out and back. The 26.2 and 13.1 will be a double out and back.
Aid Station
Intersection and Thirteener Aid Stations will be fully serviced aid stations.
The 5k turnaround, 10k turnaround, Marathon turnaround #1, Marathon turnaround #2, and Ultra Turnaround aid stations will have water, electrolytes, ice.
Cutoffs: See Aid Station Mileage Charts for aid station cutoff times.
Course closes at 4 pm Sunday. Any runner finishing after 4 pm will be a DNF.
For this event at a "fully serviced" aid station, you will be able to find the following for fuel:
Cookies, PBJ sandwiches, Oranges, Bananas, Watermelons, Pickles, Pickle Juice, , Fruit Snacks, Pringles, Coke, Mt. Dew, Ginger Ale, Tailwind & Saltstick
We have found that these items will allow runners to properly fuel themselves to get through any ultra.
Disclaimer: We are a CUPLESS EVENT! For those new to the trail running world/etiquette, we like to treat our venues with respect and do not use plastic or styrofoam to serve out water. Please bring your own cup, water bottle, hydration vest, or other form of water containment so we can help maintain the clean environment we are permitted to use for this event.
