Course
A 6.55-mile out-and-back loop starting and finishing at Pendleton Point in Blackwater Falls State Park, run through the night. Half-marathoners complete two laps, marathoners four, and distance-challenge entrants run as many laps as they can. Three aid stations give four stops per lap, at miles 1, 3.1, 5.4 and the 6.55 turnaround. The route stays right and does not descend to the falls.
