Can I bring my dog/stroller/hovercraft?
While your hovercraft may be super cool, your dog super friendly and your stroller built for off-roading, we respectfully request that you leave them at home. There are bridges to cross, waterfalls to navigate and some single-track that make for a fun, challenging race. No need to add any more challenges (unless you want to ride a unicycle).

Ear Buds?
Nope. Nature will provide all of the music you need on this course! Birds, waterfalls, running rivers, screams from other runners who spooked some grouse. You get the gist.

Parking
Race day requires some planning. But we are here to help! 11 Mile runners may be dropped off at the South Londonderry Depot BEFORE 7:30am. 11 Mile runners may also opt to park at the Jamaica School and take the free bus to the start. Departure times will be confirmed and announced soon! For those running the relay, you must provide your own transportation to the exchange points. They are easy to get to and there is plenty of parking at each location. 5K runners can park in Jamaica State Park, right near the 5K start/finish and the 11 Mile/Relay finish or at the Jamaica School. There is no bus back to the start after the race, so please plan on being dropped off or park at Jamaica School.

I'm Injured. Can I get a refund?
Unfortunately we do not issue refunds. There is an option to purchase race insurance during registration through a third party vendor. We highly recommend this option (we do not make any commission on it, we just think it's a good idea). If race insurance wasn't purchased, you may opt to transfer your registration to another runner.

Tee shirts, Medals and Swag! Oh my!
Everyone gets a tee! The option to order an additional tech tee is available during online registration as well (we'll have a few at on-site registration too). Finisher awards! Everyone will get something for their efforts. A combination of medals, awards and swag will be handed out. Overall awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female 11 Mile and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place relay teams.

Water Stops
Yes! We will have three water/aid stations on course. The first water stop will be at approximately mile 4.5, which is also the first relay exchange point (inside the campground). Water stop number two will be at the Ball Mountain Dam and also serves as relay exchange point number two. The third and final water stop will be at the finish area in Jamaica State Park. We highly recommend that runners carry their own source of hydration in a bottle or bladder for the sections in-between stations.
