- Kids race (about 1.5 km)
The 12 km route starts at Red Mountain Resort and climbs to the summit of Red Mountain on singletrack. The 25 km is a point-to-point traverse along the "7 Summits" trail and Unnecessary Ridge, including the summit of Mount Plewman and an average elevation near 2000 m. The 50 km is a point-to-point ultra that visits multiple peaks including Old Glory at 2376 m; runners should be prepared to self-support until Grey Mountain, roughly 23 km into the course.
Event operations include mandatory waivers, mandatory gear lists, and random gear checks. Mandatory items for 25 km and 50 km include a lightweight jacket, an emergency blanket, minimum 1.5 L of fluid and at least 400 calories; 12 km runners have lower hydration and calorie minimums. Aid stations are cupless; participants must carry their own cup or hydration system. The race provides shuttle logistics for point-to-point starts, limited crew access at specific aid stations, drop bag procedures, and an untimed kids race with a $5 entry that supports a local mental health charity.
