Aid station food and amazing volunteers
Aid stations will be well stocked with food. We are proud to serve Gnarly drink. Food will be typical ultra-fare. Gnarly Fuel20/Limeade is mixed to be 100 calories per 13 ounces of water.
We like to choose a lot of grab and go foods. Meal type foods at later aid stations. Hot soups. Vegan options. If you are picky you can have food in your drop bags. We aim to make sure you will find plenty to eat at the stations.
We need volunteers- email if interested!
We will have first aid kits and sanitary pads at aid stations.
RULES:
Drop bags for all distances will leave Nordic at 7 am to go to location. They are returned when aid station closes.
We have a volunteer picking up 50k drop bags at 1 pm and delivering them to McMiller
Each 100 mile, 100k, 50k and 38 mile fun runner gets a parking pass at packet pickup. If you forget your parking pass then you will need to purchase a new one on race day.
100 mile team relays get one parking pass per team.
50k & Fun Runners pick up their parking passes at the gate when they arrive on Saturday.
Any visitors to the course should have 5.00 cash ready to purchase a parking pass.
Pacers can not leave car parked at Bluff.
Runners should speak when they see horses - a silent human is a deadly human according to a horse.
Respect no parking signs. We have been warned that cars will be towed or ticketed.
In areas that parking is allowed - all 4 tires need to be off the road.
Be prepared to not find a parking spot. You can drop off a crew member to care for your runner, and wait somewhere else.
NO CREW ACCESS aid stations rules need to be followed. We will have you leave the course with your crew if they come there.
One pacer at a time on course, but runners can have multiple pacers. All pacers must sign waiver before getting on the race course. This is the pacers responsibility. Do not take a bib and get on the race course without signing the waiver online.
No car camping at Wisconsin State Parks. This includes the Nordic Parking Lot. There are several hotels in the area for a good night’s sleep prior to the race. Plan ahead
Trekking poles are allowed.
Pick up parking passes at Friday Packet pickup. If you forget to bring them on race day have cash ready to pay for a new parking pass when you pull into the park.

Rice Lake 6:30 am
Bluff: 10 am Sunday
100k cutoff- you can stay on course as long as you are through Horserider aid station by 11 pm, then hit the cut offs for every aid station after that. They are all stations that are open for the 100 mile race.
All other aid stations you need to be in and out of before they close. Each of those stations are set a little more generous in cut off times. I personally have come back from the dead in a 100 mile race, I know you can too. You can do it!
