This is fun, friendly, and supportive race. Don't get me wrong you will be challenged mentally and physically. The race is a 2-ish mile loop. There is elevation in the first mile. This year the course was covered in snow. There is 4 areas of water. 3 became "rivers" of water and mud. You had to embrace the suck (direct quote from the RD) and run through the muck 3 times per lap.
As the race went on, snow melted and the course turned mainly into mud, snow, water crossings, rocks, and roots. (I loved every minute)
There was one aid station. You passed by it when you started a new lap. There was vegan, gluten free, and regular foods (both hot and cold), water, Scratch, soups, fruits, etc. There was one area of restrooms (they were heated). Finally there was 2 areas of shelter to store your running gear.
