Course and race policies

The full route is about 124 miles long with cumulative elevation gain of approximately 26,000 feet (just under 8,000 meters). Most of the route follows remote, technical single-track trails, runs far from road access, and travels from valley bottoms into high sub-alpine terrain with panoramic views. Full route details, including maps and GPX files, are provided. The event is Trail Sisters approved and supports the International Trail Running Association green program; a portion of entry fees is donated to Run For Water.
