1. Team captains will be able to register through runsignup.com and reserve a team’s entry at any time. The registration process will allow team captains to add team members at any time until race day, but if you want to ensure that your team members receive the T-shirt size of their choosing, please complete your team count and sizes by June 31, 2026.  A completed roster with a detailed list of names will not need to be finalized until race day on July 18, 2026.

​

​2. The race will be officially timed by Bluegrass Timing who will provide time splits for each lap of the marathon and ultra relays as well as total time. 

​

3. Considering the race will take place at night, additional care will be taken by the event staff to provide supplemental lighting on the run courses where needed. Regardless, the team captains should ensure that all competing runners where either a reflective vest or a blinking light on their bodies.  Please note that these supplemental lights are necessary to improve YOUR vision and not only for others to see you.

​

​4. Course nutrition will be provided to include assorted fruit, water, sports drink, and granola bars. We will also serve a hot meal for dinner leading up to race start. Otherwise, this event is meant to be largely self-supported, so teams are encouraged to prepare accordingly.

​

5. Each team is expected to provide 2 volunteers for the event, and YES, you can participate and volunteer.

​

6. Runners can only exchange within the designated exchange zone, so the minimum distance any runner must complete is 1.3 miles for the marathon and 2.0 miles for the ultra. ​

​

7.  The final results will be compiled based on the total finish time. 

​

8. In order to assist with timing, each team and/or individual runner in the ultra runs will be provided with a timing chip.  There will be a $100 fee for any participant who fails to return their timing chip at the conclusion of the event.

​

9. All teams are permitted to setup tents and canopies and create their own "team camp." There is ample grass space in front of BCTC and around the Kroger Field tailgating spots. Teams are NOT permitted to have open flames or gas grills.
