Participants run a 4.167-mile loop every hour on the hour, with each loop featuring forest trails, gravel paths, and undulating woodland tracks with about 150m elevation. The race continues until only one runner completes a solo lap, emphasizing mental grit and pacing over speed.

The event offers camping, parking, and basic amenities like drinks, snacks, and toilets. It challenges runners to push their limits in a scenic, natural setting, with no set finish line or medals beyond the trophy for the last runner standing.
