Aid is self provided, which is different, but works well. You can bring the things that you like, but make sure you bring an excess - you never know what will appeal at the time.
A note of caution is required with the Sweaty Butt - it is well named, as running ultras in North Carolina in July involves some hot conditions. It is a race were experienced runners can be caught out by how fast the temperatures rise, and how far it is between those aid stations[[Aid Stations]]. If you start to suffer from the heat, the technical nature of the trail can slow you up even further, delaying your return to an aid station. It's not Badwater, but the race requires respect.
Overall, this was one of the most enjoyable races and is highly recommended.
