The race will start at 6:30 a.m. with an Early Start of 5:30 a.m. for those who need extra time to meet the 12-hour cutoff.  If you will not be able to finish by 6:30 p.m., you will be asked to return to the Start/Finish with the Aid Station volunteers.  (Please note that the Early Start is to accommodate runners that need an additional hour to finish under the 12-hour cutoff.  Early starters are not eligible for awards.)  As a guideline, runners should expect to be past the Start/Finish Aid Station by 12:30 p.m., Warm Springs Aid Station by 3:30 p.m. and Red Wolf Aid Station (the second time) by 5:00 p.m.
