Crew & Spectators

The 2026 Guide will be available here closer to the event.

• Each runner is responsible for the actions of their crew and pacers. Make sure all pacers know the rules.
• Pacers are allowed in the 100-mile race only.
• Each pacer will receive a pacer bib and a wristband at the Expo or at the Aid Station where pacers are permitted to join their runners. All pacers must sign a release form at the Expo or at the Aid Station.
• Pacers are encouraged to pick up their bib and sign their release forms in advance at the Expo.
• If pacers are on course with no visible bib on the front of their body, they will not be allowed to continue
• Pacers may only join their runner at the specified crew accessible aid stations: See Aid Station Chart for locations.
• Pacers must be on foot (no bikes) and while you can use multiple pacers, you may only have one pacer at any given time.
• Pacers may not park at Aid Station where a mandatory shuttle is required. Otherwise, pacers may leave a vehicle parked at the Aid Station. All vehicles must be legally parked. Follow instructions of the volunteers. Illegally or unsafely parked cars will disqualify their runner. Further information on shuttles & parking will be provided in the Runner Guide.
• If a pacer has to drop at a non-crew accessible aid station, they may not be picked up there by friends/family since crew may only visit “crew accessible aid stations.” Race Management cannot guarantee the immediate extraction of pacers from remote Aid Stations. All runners will have priority and pacers may have to wait until the Aid Station closes to be extracted, which could be an undetermined amount of time.
• Pacers must carry the mandatory 100-mile gear required. (See Mandatory Equipment Checklist on the website).
• No “muling.” Pacers may not carry nutrition, water, gear or other supplies for their runner.
• Pacer age requirement: Pacers must be a minimum of 18 years.
• Pacers must remain with their runner entering and exiting aid stations. The pacer may aid in filling water bottles and obtaining food within the aid station.
• Pacers may not physically assist their runner in moving along the course unless it is an emergency.
• We cannot facilitate pacer gear bags. Pacer supplies must fit within the runner gear bags.
• Pacers must follow all other race regulations.
• Any Pacer that does not follow the Pacer Rules and Regulations or is found not carrying the Mandatory Gear, risks disqualification or a penalty for their runner.

*** IMPORTANT: 2026 Routes pending approval by the US Forest Service. Minor changes could be made before race day to avoid hazard areas. An email will be sent to all registered participants after the routes are approved. ***

The final 2026 Runner Guide will include final information for Crews and Pacers.
