Course and logistics

The surface is a mix of hard-pack dirt road and soft single-track trail, reported as roughly 95% dirt and generally runnable subject to weather. Aid and support are available at a well-stocked aid station every loop and at personal campsites.
Camping and parking are free and available on a first-come basis along the course. Primitive tent, car camping, RVs, and trailers are allowed. There are no hookups and no running water on site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
