Course and logistics
Courses use single-track and shoreline trails with climbs, steep descents, rocky sections, and desert vegetation. The 40K route includes an out-and-back to Yavapai Point and two short crossings of Pipeline Cove that require either a guided raft ride with a life vest or a brief PFD-assisted swim. Crews are permitted only at the start/finish area. Only registered participants may cross the dam. No pacers are allowed and there are no remote drop bag locations; drop bags are handled at the finish area.
Aid stations and services
Aid stations are placed roughly every 1.6 to 5.4 miles and provide water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. Some stations are designated as light aid stations with water only, while others are full aid stations with additional food items. The event operates as a cupless race; reusable cups will be available or participants may bring their own. Medical staff are on site and parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers at each distance and all finishers receive an award. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
