Joins us the day before race day for packet pickup and runners briefing at Beals Point. We have some sweet swag that will be distributed and raffled during the runners briefing.
A lot of information will be shared during the runners briefing. We would like to minimize any doubts/concerns about the race course, aid stations, dropbags, and rules.

Our optional but recommended runners briefing is being moved to The Auburn Aid Station ; if you cannot attend the runners briefing, don't worry, we will have your bib available the morning of the race starting at 4am at the start area (Beals Point).
We highly recommend attending the briefing as we will discuss every aspect of the race. From course marking, trail conditions, and much more!

Folsom Lake Ultra Trail (FLUT) is the only event to run all the way around Folsom Lake, to our knowledge, this may be the only race covering this length of distance while circumnavigating a body of water in California.
FLUT has a total of 12 aid stations that are packed with all kinds of food that ultra-runners need, water, electrolyte, boiled potatoes, chips, candy, gel packets, salt pills, and the later aid stations will have wholefoods such as soup, burritos, bacon, etc.
This race changes directions every year, 2018 will be a clockwise course. The course is a mix of trails and roads (85% Trail, 15% Road).
