Copeland is once again looking for your help to gather data on the effects of ultra‐endurance competition on hormone levels and neuromuscular function specifically in women.

Where
Does your Money go?

has always been the goal of the race directors of the LSU to
provide a high quality race at a reasonable cost to racers.
This includes the "famous rock", a jacket, a photo,
awards, breakfast and of course the great aide stations along
the route. We thought it would be a good idea to let you know
how your race entry money is spent. Following is a breakdown
of where the dollars went based on one entry fee:
Rock
$40.00
Tech Clothing $40.00
Breakfast $13.00
Rentals $17.00
Aid Station $10.00
Volunteer shirts $5.00
Prizes $5.00

Misc. Expenses $4.00
Total per Racer $140.00
We
will continue to work to maintain the tradition of this great
race at a reasonable cost.

LSU course travels through private land, we have permission
