The paved road twists and turns through the canyon and generally features rolling and gradually uphill terrain. The course is marked and supported by aid stations offering water and Gatorade, and portable toilets are available at the start/finish and on course. Ultra aid stations provide additional provisions and the 50K race permits one drop bag at mile 26.2.
