I've done this race 3 times and I'm already signed up for year 4. I absolutely love this race. It's my #1 race hands down. It's a 2.5 mile loop mostly through a covered trail with some sections in the open grass. It's definitely a hot and humid race. There's one main aid station at the start/finish area and the volunteers will make you feel like family. Actually everyone will. I've made so many great friends each year running this. You actually get to choose from two 100 mile buckles, whichever you like more. There are multiple distances and all of them get 40 hours to complete. This is definitely your race to choose for your first 100. Many people camp out the night before and there's a huge covered area people set up under as a secondary air station. The race director truly cares about everyone who's in the race and will do whatever he can to help you finish. You park right next to the course and can actually access your vehicle on each loop of needed. You won't regret this race.
