Pacers, Crew, and Spectators

Pacers are welcome to join the runner at mile 50 or sunset on Saturday night. We welcome spectators! For crew, pacers, and spectators, there are several options of where you can set up camp or just hang out. You can either set up with us at the staging area and see your runner once every 19 miles or set up at the hub aid (1.7-mile drive) or the 10k aid (3.1-mile drive). This will enable you to see your runner twice every 19 miles. The road out there can be a little sandy and/or rocky in areas and we would advise a 4-wheel drive. You can also hitch a ride with other crews or staff, just ask!

Aid Stations

We will have plenty of hammer/heed, water, GU, salty snacks, food, and fruits for you. First aid will be at every aid station. (see maps for details). We always have food, drinks, and snacks at the finish line. We want to meet you individually. We will be running around but please stop us and say “Hi”. For our ultrarunners, you will be fed hot food.

THIS IS A CUPLESS RACE. PLEASE BRINK YOUR OWN BOTTLE.

Parking

There will be overflow parking over a half mile before the main staging area on the left. If you are running the 10k or 5k, more than likely you will be directed here. We will not have a shuttle this year due to the pandemic, so please arrive early.

Valley of Fire State Park is now charging $10 a car for parking per day. Please bring cash with you on race day or pay at the packet pick-up.

Awards

There will be a podium finish. When three deep male/female come in from a certain distance, we will announce the winners. The plaques are always hand made that you will cherish and want to sleep with every night.
All finishers will receive an awesome hand made medal that you will wear in honor.

Camping

We LOVE camping! Make sure you get to Logandale Trail System early enough on Friday the 22nd to find a spot before the locals do. There are tons of spots to camp at up and down the course road/trail. You can camp right by an aid station or in the canyon somewhere. If you camp in the canyon, this is about .2 miles down the hill from the start line. You will either need a 4-wheel drive or high clearance vehicle. If you can’t find a spot, crash with us at the staging area. Unfortunately, we won’t be doing a whole lot of sleeping and we may be a little loud. Please see map below. The state charges us $10 per car, so if you have several in your party, maybe park in Logandale and carpool? Please see map below!
