WATER: It is recommended that you carry it with you! There will be an unmanned water station about two miles into each loop. Because this is a 2 loop course, participants do have the option to set up their own personal mini-aid station along the course to grab a bottle of water, nutrition, etc. before starting their 2nd loop. If you do this, make sure that you mark/identify your stuff so that it is easily recognized as yours!
