Course and logistics
All race courses are single-loop trail routes with a long, sustained climb from the base of the Echo Valley ski area onto climbing single track, followed by rolling single-track and descents. The 10K uses Bergman Gulch Trail for its descent; the Half is an abbreviated portion of the 50K. Elevation gain estimates: 10K: 1,200 ft, Half: 2,000 ft, 50K: 3,900 ft. Aid stations are located at multiple mile marks for each distance; notable aid stops are listed for the 10K, Half, and 50K on the event information.
This event is cupless; all runners must carry a refillable container and are encouraged to carry at least 20 oz of water. 50K runners may drop bags before the start for transport to the Yurt Aid Station. Trails remain open to other users during the event. Camping is available at Echo Valley Ski Area; fees are $25 per tent or $50 per RV per night, with a limit on RV size and spaces. Post-race hot meals include pulled pork sandwiches or veggie burgers. Finisher swag is handmade using solar power. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
