Course and event details

The courses use single-track trails along the lake shoreline, the Roadrunner Trail, and newly constructed trails to Yavapai Point (40K). The 40K course crosses a cove where the foot bridge is out of service; participants either take a short guided raft ride with life vests or put on a personal flotation device and swim across. The 13K, 26K, and 40K include significant climbs, rocky sections, and desert vegetation.

Aid stations are placed roughly every 1.6 to 5.4 miles with water, electrolyte drink, snacks, and fruit; some stations are "light" on food. The event is cupless; reusable cups will be available or participants may bring their own. Crews are allowed at the start/finish only, pacers are not allowed, and there are no remote drop bag locations. Parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp. Medical staff will be on site. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers at each distance and all finishers receive a finisher award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
