Caution: The running course and drive route cross several times

• The routes are fairly direct and provide sufficient time to travel to the next exchange point.
• You will notice that the route may not always be the most direct.  Safety, traffic flow and other park user’s concerns are preeminent in the routing. Although we attempted to limit the runner and driver intersections they do exist.
• The drive route is also designed to facilitate responsive medical emergencies and race management.
• We do understand that sometimes you may miss a turn because the stench in the vehicle gets intolerable and you have your head out the window and not on the map. Take a test drive on Friday if you can.
  
  

Safety is the key to a great Dirt experience. Drive route is on paved & gravel roads and is the shortest route with the least conflicts with incoming vehicles and runners. Be especially careful on the narrow gravel road! Use odometer – trip odometer. Stay in designated entrances, flow lanes and exits. Be attentive to parking instructions from the volunteers. Drive after your runner starts the leg. Watch for runners crossing the roads as they do bolt from the trails!

The campground portion of Brown County Park is not open to race vehicle traffic. Volunteers will take care of the runners passing through this area. No Relay exchanges are inside this area. Ultra Aid stations are located within this area but not accessible to Ultra support.
