At 6:30am on  Saturday the  October11th, you can set up a personal area in the R&R lot across from the pavilion, too.
• Bib/Swag pick up will start on Saturday the 11th in the pavilion at 7am; race start 8:30am.
• Park "comfortably" close since the parking lot is small,  also larger vehicles to the side lot, please (no RV's). NO overnight camping allowed per Town Ordinance/Friday night) or use your vehicle with close access, including  porta-johns, as you loop through the day and night.

There will be an award for first to fifth overall with the (fastest) most amount of miles in the 30 hours. An incredible buckle will be given at no additional charge to all those achieving 100 miles in the 30 hours; a buckle is assigned by race time achievement of 100 miles.  re: 100 miles = 1 buckle, 125 miles = 2 buckles, 150 miles = 3 buckles. Forst come, first served with first choice(s).

Note: As you achieve 100 miles you receive your  buckle at that point, but that does not win the race; it is most miles achieved in 30 hours. In typical New England fashion the course has roots and rocks  and  one larger hill (nicknamed: "OMG"), that is very doable. The medallions, buckles and swag and awards are exceptional and worth the trip.
