The event is managed by the Eastern States Trail-Endurance Alliance, an all-volunteer grassroots organization. The course features multiple aid stations for participant support. Recent updates to the course include the relocation of Aid Station 2 to Bonnell Flats, situated at mile 11.6 along the Pine Creek Rail Trail. Due to the remote nature of the course, certain locations such as the Barrens aid station (AS14) have restricted access where crews are no longer permitted.
