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

- Duration / cutoff
- The selected timed duration, with breaks permitted.
- Crew and pacers
- Pacers are not allowed. Crew may help only at the start/finish and in the runners’ tent area along the first 400 m of the course, up to the farm gate, and may not use the aid station’s supplies. A friend who wants to share laps can register for an event and join you on the course. Canopies, tents, chairs and coolers can go along the marked course section behind the cones from Tuesday afternoon, extra portable toilets serve that area, and everything, including trash, must be packed out.
- Drop bags
- There are no remote drop bags, because the only aid is at the start/finish. Small bags or totes can go in the tarp area at the start/finish or on either side of the first 200 m of the course, and nothing is handed out on the course itself. Runners camping on the course line keep their supplies at their own tents.
