$45
John Bryan is the most scenic state park in western Ohio. The 752-acre park contains a remarkable limestone gorge cut by the Little Miami River which is designated as a state and national scenic river. A portion of the gorge itself is designated as a national natural landmark.”
Tie Dye 50K IS CUPLESS! This means there will not be cups pre-set at any aid stations.
An ORRRC collapsible, reusable cup is available to be added to your registration for $3 and the cup will be provided at packet pickup.
Please carry it with you as well as your water bottle. There will be absolutely no cups at aid stations (you will need to use your cup if you want to drink Coke or Ginger Ale, or grab some pretzels to go).

PARKING
John Bryan State Park, Yellow Springs, Ohio. We will fill the main lot (I will have at least two spots coned for the course). We will also have volunteers helping direct runners to other parking areas. Do not park in the campground unless you have a camping permit.
CUT-OFFS
For the safety of the runners and the comfort of the volunteers, cutoffs will be enforced. Total completion time is 9 hours or 4:30 p.m. To complete within 9-hours you must start your third loop by 1:30 p.m. The sweeper will begin sweeping at 2:00 p.m. and you must stay ahead of the sweeper.
