Course, format and logistics

The course is a loop of approximately 6–6.5 km on trail terrain that includes single track and double track, uphill and downhill sections, and rocky and sandy surfaces. Runners must complete each lap within the hourly cutoff to be eligible to start the next lap; the race restarts every hour and continues until only one solo runner remains or teams reach their 24-hour limit. Participants are responsible for their own water and food; a light food station will be available at the start/finish area and night participants will have access to hot food and drinks. Camping and pit areas are available for overnight or long-duration competitors, and finishers receive custom swag such as belt buckles for solo runners who reach 100 km and for teams that reach 24 hours. Merchandise and demo shoes from sponsors will be available on site. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
