50 Mile Aid Station and Runner Information

Drop Bag: Remember to bring clothing that will adapt to the weather and a flashlight for the early morning start and initial run. Be sure to label any articles you want back! (Drop bags at Little Harbor only!). Drop bags will be back to the finish line at approximately 3:00 pm. It is your responsibility to pick up all drop bag items at the finish line, or in the morning at the group photo. The Lions Club and Spectrum Sports Management will do their best to return the equipment but we are not responsible for your items.
All 50M drop bags will go to Little Harbor ONLY. At all the aid stations there will be water, cola, bananas, SFuel Energy, Salt, and some surprise food. Make sure you plan ahead for your aid station drop bags. (Extra change of socks, clothing, etc. for your added comfort during the run)
