Pickens,
Distance:  31, 34.7, 40 miles (depends on which measurement you us
Registration:  $25.00   The $25 helps cover insurance, permits, and my expenses for the weekend.  There will be refreshments at the finis
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. 
Aid:  There are many streams on the course and water purifying tablets are advised.  I will offer nothing but advice.  Several runners have gotten gut-wrenching Giardia by drinking out ot the streams.
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.
