Courses run on rolling single track with Saguaro cactus, valleys, and some very steep rocky sections on the Goldmine Trail and sandy wash sections on the San Tan Trail. The 50K is three loops of the 17K course run in alternating directions. The 26K combines the 17K and 9K routes. The 9K and 5K each follow defined loops that use San Tan and Goldmine trails, with the 5K finishing on Little Leaf Trail.

Aid stations are located regularly and provide water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; participants are asked to carry at least one bottle of water. This is a cupless event so runners should bring a reusable cup or purchase one on site.
