3. The entry limit is still 600.
4.  No early start available for the 50 mile.
5.  No more sleeping in for the 100 mile runners.

Dates and Times

Why start all races on Friday?  Starting in 2022, the park is not allowing any special events to happen on the weekend or holidays. This is due to the huge increase in visitors over the past couple of years and the lack of adequate infrastructure (roads, parking etc.) to handle both an influx of the regular visitors to the island, plus the addition of several hundred cars for the race.  The issue isn’t with the trails, it’s with the roads and other park infrastructure.  By starting all of the races Friday morning, the only runners that will still be on the course on Saturday are the relatively few numbers of 100 mile runners, and the vast majority of those runners will be done by noon on Saturday.

Yes, I know Easter is Sunday, March 31.  This was the only weekend available from the park.
