After you register for the race you will be provided a link to the race maps and information. The rules are below. The address on this page is the start location of the race (where you should park).
- This is entirely on the Honor System; maps, competition, and donations.

7. If you are competing alone, let someone know where you are going, and how long you plan to be out there. We also suggest that you leave a copy of the map in your car, or with a friend, in case someone needs to come out to find/help you.
