Course and race details

The 50 Miler includes three main loops plus an extra 1-mile dog-leg section during each loop. Surfaces include mostly single track, some flat gravel trail, short paved bike path sections, soft and occasional sandy spots. There is some elevation, with short climbs; much of the course is shaded.
A time limit of 12 hours 30 minutes applies to the 50 Miler. The park must be cleared after the event.
