The course is described as relatively flat with good footing and a generally straight layout. The start and finish are at the Great Shasta Rail Trail trailhead in Bartle on Harris Springs Road. Participants may use the trailhead parking area or nearby forest roads; organizers ask that traffic flow and the rail trail access not be blocked. Portable toilets will be available at the start/finish area and at the 50K turnaround.
Aid stations are placed roughly every 3 to 6 miles, with water drops on hot years. Stations are stocked with HEED electrolytes, common runner snacks, and ice for cooling. There is a 12 hour overall cutoff for each distance. Packet pickup occurs on race morning. All participants receive a shirt and an after-race meal, and all finishers receive a finisher medal. The event supports the Great Shasta Rail Trail and its preservation. Swag deadline is June 23. The burro race option has been removed for this year.
