The start and finish of Rock's out-and-back 100-mile course were in his back bedroom. Most of the course was set in a confusing array of flour and toilet paper that was difficult for Rock to explain to several ultra-runners gathered in his living room.
They gave him a hard time about it as they joined him to scout the first mile. The first thirty feet or so were through his house, then it was out his front door to Orange Street. After a block, runners would meet the trail, which was indistinguishable from much of the Arkansas Traveller course.
One of the women mentioned how comfortable his house would feel after a 100-mile trail race. It was cold outside.
