Aid Stations:
AS-0 will be located at the Moulton Falls Bridge Mile 2.8
Electrolyte & H2O only
AS-1 is Yacolt Burn Trail Head (NE Dole Valley Rd Yacolt Wa 98675) Mile 12
The midday heat should not be a factor but it is approx 11 miles to the first Aid Station stop. Make sure you plan accordingly.
Aid Station 1 will have all your typical snacks. Salty, Sweet, Soda, Electrolyte etc.... along with hot Breakfast food.... Bacon, Sausage, Eggs to order, Breakfast Burrito. All you need to replenish those lost calories along with enough to carry you to the next Aid Station!
AS-2 is Sixth Sense at Mile 15.4
We will be adding an Aid Station at Mile 15.4 Electrolyte & H20 with maybe a few snacks thrown in!
AS-3 is Grouse Vista Trail Head (L-1200 Camas Wa 98607) Mile 19
Although your journey to Grouse Vista is less than 7 miles, it will include some of the steepest sections on the day. Lots of intersecting trails, so stay alert & look for the course markers.
Aid Station 2 will have your standard snacks ... with maybe some surprises mixed in!
AS-4 is Tarbell Trail Head (33601-33699 NE Dnr 1100 Rd Yacolt Wa 98675) Mile 29
After leaving Grouse with a smile & a pocket full of snacks you will have approx 10 miles to Tarbell. This will be the most scenic section of the day. With stunning views and epic waterfalls that will take your mind off that pesky midday sun!
Aid Station 3 will have plenty of water & electrolytes. So fuel up, cause now you're heading into Ultra territory.
AS-5 is located at the Yacolt Burn Trail Head (Same as AS 1) Mile 34
Leaving Tarbell knowing you'll only have a short 5 miles will be motivation enough to keep grinding forward. This section is fast, dusty & exposed. So make sure you're continuing to drink fluids, staying hydrated as well as washing the dust off the teeth!
Aid Station 4 Will be the same as AS 1 but we'll have switched over from Breakfast to Lunch. Burgers, Quesadillas, Grilled Cheese etc..... to help propel you down that 9 mile stretch of the same Bells Mtn Trail that you ascended earlier that morning.
AS6 will be located at the Moulton Falls Bridge Mile 45.7
Aid Station 5 will have just enough electrolyte, H20 & snacks to propel you the remaining few miles to the Finish!
The Bell will be Rang!!!
