Organized Group Rim-to-Rim and Extended Day Hike/Run
Any organized, noncommercial, group conducting rim-to-rim and extended day hiking and running, including rim-to-river-to-rim, and rim-to-rim-to-rim in the inner canyon is required to obtain a Special Use Permit from Grand Canyon National Park. The inner canyon is defined as the area below the Tonto Platform (Tipoff and Indian Garden) from the South Rim and below Manzanita Resthouse (Pumphouse Residence) from the North Rim. Any group, regardless of size, which has advertised to the general public, required individuals to sign up prior to participation, or that has an organizer who has been compensated for their services (including subsidized participation in the activity), is required to operate under a Special Use Permit.

Getting ready to trail run Thanks for the photo of your gear! I hope I haven't packed too much, or not enough. There will be 15 Marshall's out on the road, so I doubt I'll need most of it. Better to be safe than sorry though.
