Course notes describe an extended downhill section in the opening miles with National Forest views, followed by several miles that lead into the mountain town of Damascus. A notable landmark on the route is a broken Pepsi machine located between Damascus and Alvarado that figures in local race lore. The 50 mile race uses an out-and-back format with a pacer pickup option, while the 55K follows a single-direction route.
Logistics include a cupless format with a mandatory hydration pack or bottle, self-drop at the start, and crew access points along a well-supported course.
