I’m in. This will be my first endurance-type race, and I’m looking forward to the experience.

I’m traveling solo to the race, so I’m going to be my own pit crew. I’m not worried about losing some time prepping bottles and grabbing snacks– I’ll likely benefit from the rest – but I do have one question. Is there running water relatively close to the pit area? If I’m going to have to walk a quarter mile each way every time I need to fill a jug of water, I’ll plan to bring enough to last the whole day. If it’s right there, I may bring less and plan on refilling at the spigot a couple times.

Can you give a Google Maps link to where this is located? The address in the Trail Guide points to downtown Ithaca.

It's 2 blocks South of Downtown Ithaca @ the fairgrounds....follow signs to fairgrounds. Super easy to find

Thanks, Brent. That makes packing a bit easier.

I can't wait. It's gonna be a good time, I can feel it. Multiple hours+multiple miles=memorable madness I love it!

Can hardly contain myself. I love to turn my bike. Just a guess, but over the course of 12 hours, we may turn about 4000 times Saturday. I can count my laps but will definitely lose count of the total turns. Maybe we should count a laps worth, do the math and print a t shirt. Looking forward to the fun. See Yall soon...

First race of this kind for me as well, very excited. Weather & course conditions should be ideal. Just curious, will there be adequate bathrooms near the course for racers to use?

[Ithacaroads]

There's about 20 acres of bathroom...

The trail is in some of the best shape I have ever seen. The rain really helped!

What was the mileage per lap? I know the flyer said 5.5. Just wondering if that was correct.
