Plan The Endless Mile

Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.

This is a past edition. These details are for reference; confirm a future edition before making a plan.

Crew and pacers

Crews set up beside the loop and can help every mile. Casual runners may have friends join them for an occasional lap or two, but anyone attempting a state, national or world record must tell the organizer beforehand, because pacing may then be prohibited. Aid-station supplies are reserved for registered runners.

Drop bags

No drop bags are needed: runners build personal aid stations beside the loop, often at their cars in the fence-line parking spaces, which fill early. In 2026, 72-hour runners could set up from 3:00 PM on Wednesday, 48-hour runners on Friday morning, and Saturday 24-hour runners after 3:00 PM on Friday. The organizer rents 1–2 person dome tents for $25 and 10x10 pop-up canopies with a table and chair for $40 to 24-, 48- and 72-hour runners, first come, first served.
