-There is an ultra 50k option. It will be two 16 mile loops (same loop), with fewer aid stations during the beginning and an encouraged 10 hour time-limit (we will be flexible within reason). Aid would be @ miles 8, 16, 24 and 28 - meaning you need to self-sustain for 8 miles at a time. Start time is 7am. This means getting to the parking lot and boarding the bus extra early! There is an enforced 12noon cutoff at the 16 mile (halfway start/finish) mark.+The 50k will consist of two 25k loops.

-====== Logistics ======+====== Volunteer Work ======
  
-Clothing or towels or personal items will not be watched. Put your stuff in a bag, start a pile, and it should be fine. Spectators, visitors, family, etc can come. They need to park in the same lot and take the bus in. The bus runs all day long. There is NO early packet pickup. Participant checkin is race daybefore the raceVolunteers, if you dont know where to go, checkin at the same runner registration desk.+To help support the park so that we can continue to host these eventswe request 1 hour of volunteer workHours can be logged here: https://goo.gl/forms/ueBAljY7rG9tz09G2
  
-**NEW:** All participants need one hour of [[1hrVolunteerRequirement|volunteer park work]]. To ease your fears, we are making it very easy for this to be fulfilled (honor system, any outdoor, anywhere, pre-planned vol events). See the link. +Thank you!
