Course DNA

The Course

Forty laps of a 2.5-mile loop on Reedley College farm roads along the Kings River. Essentially flat. Creek bridge is the only notable bump. Camping at start. Full moon weekend.

The Work

Flat ultra pacing and lap math. Walk-run strategy for first-timers. Minimal vert means legs stay fresh. Mind game after lap 30.

Kit

Comfortable road shoes. Night reflective gear. Camp chair for crew. Blister prevention on flat ground still matters.

Race Day

Must reach 85 miles by 24 hours to continue. Thirty-hour finish cutoff. Can keep running past 100 if time remains. Relay teams allowed.
