The courses use seldom traveled single track trails on the Front Range and pass through lower and upper montane ecosystems. Terrain ranges from lodgepole pine forest around 6,000 to 8,000 feet with aspen groves, down to lower montane red rock and tall grass areas near 5,000 feet. The route includes multiple viewpoints with visible city vistas, red rock formations similar to those at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and occasional distant views of nearby 14ers. Autumn color changes are noted as a feature of the season.
Logistics and services include well stocked aid stations, a gender specific race shirt, and a finisher's medal for completers. Time limits are 14 hours for the 50 Mile and 55k, and 12 hours for the 15 Mile and 5 Mile. A mid race drop down option exists for those who start the 55k or 50 Mile, with specific points that allow a recorded finish at a shorter distance; there is no drop down for the 5 Mile or 15 Mile and no refunds for distance changes. Camping is available for a fee with very limited space and restrictions on vehicle types. Crew and spectator access is limited and discouraged. Parking is limited and may require designated fees. A snow date is set for October 19 in the event of significant snowfall; historically the event has not been postponed or cancelled for snow.
