The course follows the Duncan Ridge corridor, referenced by the organizer as the Dragon's Spine. The event remains part of the H9 trail club program and follows U.S. Forest Service rules for use of the Duncan Ridge area.
Participation requires H9 trail club membership and a separate event registration. The organizer describes this as a two-step registration process needed to manage results and multiple club events. Registration is open and closes on August 4 at 11:59 PM ET.
Entry fees are intended to cover award medals, t-shirts, site rental, food, and day-use costs. The organizer notes a fee increase to cover expenses, and that the event operates as a non-profit; labor and equipment provided by the club are donated.
