We will also be collecting drop bags at the dinner. Drop bags will be allowed for Aid Station 6, Aid Station 7 and Finish.

Also, all but the front runners will be running in the dark. Please be prepared, have a usable flashlight with extra batteries available after 8:30 P.M. Drop bags will also be collected at the start on race morning.
