Course Information
Beginning at the Starrucca Viaduct in Lanesboro, Pennsylvania, the course is a series of four 25-mile out-and-back laps on a section of mostly flat, stony rail trail. The elevation is gradual, and there are two dips where trestles used to be.

Course Aid
Runners should expect to be self-sufficient and bring their own food, drinks, and gear. Drinking water will be available at the end points and midway near mile 6.
Drop Bags
Two drop bags are allowed: one to leave at the start/finish, and one that we'll drive to the 12.5-mile turnaround. Label each bag with this information:
- Your name
- Start/Finish or Turnaround
Cutoff Times, Pacers, and Awards
Although cutoff times will not be strictly enforced, runners should attempt to finish in 30 hours (by noon on Sunday).
Pacers are allowed at all times.
All 100-mile finishers earn a railroad spike. The first male and female each get a silver-painted one.
