The course is a 1.8 mile loop that gains and loses about 280 feet per lap. Trails include single-track, double-track, and jeep trails. The route has noticeable elevation changes and varied surface underfoot.

Participants are asked to bring additional or special items to share; the organizers note they cannot supply everything.
The start and finish are at the Chester town park, which has ample parking. The park area includes a pool with lifeguard coverage when conditions allow, a skate park, softball fields, tennis courts, walking trails, and an 18-hole disc golf course. The event benefits the Chester Recreation Department and the Turning Point Recovery Center of Springfield, Vermont.
