Pacers/Support Vehicles/Crews/Access:
Pacers are only allowed from the Tepee Creek aid station (aid station #6) to the finish.  Support vehicles and crews are welcome, however vehicle access to the course is limited.  Crews may assist, observe, cheer, mock, etc. runners along Forest Service Roads 4017 ( Crystal Creek Road ) and 294 ( McClellan Creek Road ). Please remind crew vehicles to give runners the right of way, and to drive slowly to minimize dust.  Runners, do not get into a vehicle unless you are planning to drop out.  Race Management will assume that any runners in vehicles have gotten a ride, and you will be disqualified.

Observation of runners on the jeep road section ( Forest Service Road 4032) is strongly discouraged.  It will take at least four hours to drive to this portion of the course from the start finish area.  Flat tires and dents are likely.  If you insist that your crew meet you on this road, you owe them big time!

 Crews can also meet runners at the Jackson Creek Trailhead (aid station #1, #7) and Tepee Creek aid stations (aid station #6).  From the McClellan Creek trailhead off Road 294, follow the signs towards Casey Meadows.  The Jackson Creek Trailhead aid station is an easy hike of approximately 3/4 mile.  The Tepee Creek aid station can be reached from either the McClellan Creek trailhead or the Willard Creek trailhead.  From McClellan Creek start up the trail, and turn right on the McClellan Creek trail approximately ¼ mile from the trailhead.  At approximately 2.5 miles from the trailhead, the Willard Creek trail comes in from the right, continue up the McClellan Creek trail another ½ mile and you will be at the Tepee Creek aid station.  This is an uphill hike with a couple of short steeper sections, but is not difficult.  From the Willard Creek trailhead, hike approximately 1 mile, cross McClellan Creek (there is a board to walk across) and intersect the McClellan Creek trail just past the creek crossing, turn right on McClellan Creek trail, ½ mile to the aid station.  The hike on the Willard Creek trail is mostly downhill to the creek crossing, with no real difficult terrain. Willard Creek is a great area to spot moose!
