The route includes two wooden bridges over a creek and ascends to Blackfoot Meadows, which serves as a turnaround point. The 15K finishes at the start/finish area.

30K runners continue past the start area, cross the road, and follow the Kading Grade trail to climb a route to the top of the Continental Divide. After reaching the summit area, 30K participants retrace the same route back to the start/finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
