Race director Kevin Bigley noted that first responder medical services are being provided by Douglas County Search & Rescue, a beneficiary of proceeds from the race along with the Carson Valley Trails Association.
Event parking will be available at Antiques Plus, three blocks south of the center of town immediately after the post office.
