MTD 12 Hour is a spring ultra on an easy and well aided course, where a competitor can test themselves against a clock, instead of a  prescribed distance.

• Participants will run counter clockwise on an approximately 1/2 mile shaded asphalt footpath. Course is a USATF certified* distance of .4902 mi. At the start / lap area the path is approximately 8 ft wide, on the east side of the lake it narrows to 5 feet, and at the extreme north end is little more than 3.5 feet. Caution will be needed here in passing, and runners will be expected to not run 2 abreast on these narrow parts of the course. Running on the right hand side of the path in the grass will be permitted, however those runners will be completing a slightly longer distance each loop.
  
• This is Western New York, and as the saying goes: "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes.. it'll change". As it will be late spring there is a possibility for rain, heat or even snow. It is recommended that you watch the weather forecast, but that you be sure to bring plenty of options for clothing changes throughout the day. Normal highs for May 15th are in the mid 60s and lows in the mid 40s.
• A field cap of 85 runners is in place.
  
• A single main aid station will provide a variety of customary ultra food and drinks throughout the day.
• Timing service provided by Yellow Jacket Racing utilizing the MyLaps timing system with ankle transponders.
  

• Runners may bring their own aid tent (10X10 or less) to set up along the course.

• Restrooms are available within 50 yards of the race site, with 3 course side port-o-potties as well.
  
• There is no park entry fee and ample parking space is available. (see map)
