Course Description
The course is located in the Ancient Lakes area, described as a desert landscape with canyon-like gorges, lakes, and waterfalls. It primarily uses single-track trails. The design features a 25K loop with three smaller loops (red, green, blue), each beginning and ending at a common aid station. This loop has approximately 2,200 feet of rolling elevation gain. The 10K course uses portions of the red and green loops with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain. The 50K runs the 25K loop twice, the 50 Miler runs it three times, and the Marathon runs the 25K loop once followed by a second red and a second green loop.
