NEW! You must qualify for this run. New runners must have finished a 50 miler 12 months prior to this run and under 13
hours. Veterans will be approved according to their training. For this race to continue I must have everyone off the course
prior to the White Water Falls Park closing. I must have 10 sweeps that have met the 50 miler qualification. I am now
having to work with the National Park personal to continue this run. I must have insurance, permit, and a safety net to ensure
everyone getting off the course. That is what the sweeps are for. Sweeps do not pass runners, including other sweeps.
It is usually a sweep that has to be help out of the course. I may split the sweeps between the two times. I have completed
the permit requirements by getting a certificate of insurance with the U.S. Government as the insured.
Carry a trail light and be prepared to sleep overnight on the course. Two runners had to sleep on the course during 2007
and didn't get off the course until after 1:00 AM on Sunday. One did not have a trail light.
