There are 17 aid stations (counting the start and finish lines) located every 5 to 10 miles throughout the course of the race. Each of the major aid stations is accessible by automobile, "DRIVE-TO" INSTRUCTION FOR MAJOR AID STATIONS. The daytime aid stations will have water, an energy drink, fruit, and a salty item. The nighttime aid stations will have water, an energy drink, fruit, hot drinks, and soup. The cross-over aid stations will have all of the above items. In addition, all aid stations will have assorted food items that the aid station personnel will bring. If you have any specialty food or beverage needs, they should be placed in your drop bags, or provided by your crew.
A total of 36 hours is allotted for completing the Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run, Inc.: 20 hours for completing the first 53 miles, and 16 hours for finishing the final 47 miles. If you do not make the cut-off time and wish to continue, we will not pull you out of the race; but we cannot guarantee that the aid stations will be open past the CUT-OFF TIMES. All runners must finish the race by 5:00 PM, Sunday to receive the Finisher Award.
All aid stations are tied into a communications network via Amateur ("Ham") Radio. Runners check in and out of each aid station and their times are communicated to a NET CONTROL station at the finish line. In this manner, each runner is tracked throughout the course and their position at any given time can be estimated within a couple of miles.
