Good vibes and some cash!

McFarland Spine & Sport will be on hand for pre and post-race medical evaluations.

McFarland does this free of charge but asks for donations which go to the Boys & Girls

Club of West Plains, Missouri

Schwag (better than swag) – We have some goodies for sale which will be flying off the

shelves!

Sophia’s Smores & More will be there to help you enjoy the campfires with some tasty

treats.

If you’re staying on-site, we plan to keep the party going to the wee hours. There is a

possibility that we’ll run out of adult refreshment, you may want to bring your own stash

for the after-party.

Can Spectators hang out?

Yes. Friends/family/spectators are welcome to hang at Rocking Chair for the finish or at the

Panther Bay Park Pavilion (25K turn around and 50K drop bag area.

Did you say “drop bag?”

Yes. There will be a sign at Rocking Chair for runners to drop a bag. This will be your own bag

that we will bring to Panther Bay Park Pavilion (25K turn around and 50K check point). Leave

your bag at your own risk and take measures to make it stand out from the rest. Bags will be

brought back to Rocking Chair when the last runner comes through. We do not know what time

we will bring them all back to rocking chair and we do not take responsibility for the safety of

the contents. Do not leave anything with great value in your bag.

Are there “drop bags?”

Yes. Bags will be available at packet pickup. Please bring them to the marked area at the

starting line. Drop bags should not be considered secure. White River 50K takes no

responsibility for drop bags other than their safe transfer from the start to the finish area.

ON THE COURSE:

Is this the same course as last year?

Sort of. The 7K course is the same but given that the weather is much better and in our favor

this year, the entire trail is open and will go well beyond the limits from 2016!

Is there a time limit?

We have a 9 hr. time limit.

Are earphones / music permitted?

We do not prohibit earphones, but please take into consideration that there are other people

around you and you can’t very well hear “on your left” if you’re rocking out. Please be

considerate.

We prefer not. There are a lot of runners out there and parts of the course are single-tack.

Please be considerate.

Not every aid station is created equal. All will hydrate you and have at least a little something to

eat. The Panther Bay Aid Station is fully loaded however with Gatorade, water, gels, munchies,

potatoes, sandwiches and more.
