Two looped courses are used.

The long course is approximately 2.3094 miles per loop. Elevation gain is listed per loop: about 36 feet on the short course and about 72 feet on the long course. Night sections include some dark stretches on both courses.
A main aid station operates 24/7 with meals reserved for runners; vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-sensitive options are available on request. The event is cupless; participants should carry a bottle or reusable cup. An express water-fill station is provided outside the main aid tent. Crew staging and designated tent areas line the central "Jackpot Strip," which also hosts a water tent, race store, and a Town Hall warming tent with limited communal cots and a three-hour nap limit. Showers are not available on site. Dogs on leash are permitted but must be kept away from the course and main tents.
The short course hosts the USATF 100 Mile Road Championship and carries a $4,000 prize purse split between top men and women. Live timing and streaming are provided for race monitoring. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
