The event uses a BC Athletics certified out and back course that climbs through the first half and descends on the return, often producing significant negative splits.

Post-race provisions include food, awards, and draw prizes; the event describes its post-race food as abundant and varied. The race has a long history, beginning as a 20 kilometre event in 1986 and changing to the half marathon distance in 1995. A number of national and provincial records have been set on this course.
