The course uses a lollipop loop layout, is crew accessible at many points, and features 17,300 feet of ascent and 17,300 feet of descent. The 2026 race is a Western States qualifier and enforces a 34 hour course cutoff.

A mandatory service requirement for starters must be completed between July 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026; options include eight hours of permitted ultramarathon support, trail work under an approved organization, or a minimum donation to a stewardship nonprofit. A portion of race proceeds benefits 44 Trails. Volunteers are used for many tasks and the event offers volunteer assignments and associated perks.
