The 10K route passes two waterfalls, a bluff overlook, and follows Rock Creek with moderate single-track climbs totaling 630 ft of elevation gain. The half marathon adds about 1,400 ft of climbing, including an initial climb on an old railroad grade and roughly 800 ft of gain over 7 miles before joining the 10K section. The 50K follows the half marathon for the first ~10 miles, continues to the Nickajack section of the CCT, reaches High Point, and loops back into the Core Preserve with approximately 5,000 ft of elevation gain. Much of the back half of the 50K is on private property and is not accessible before race day; hiking poles are permitted.
Aid stations and logistics are defined on course maps. The 50K includes six aid stations and one light aid station; the first aid station is at mile 7 and most are spaced about 3 to 4 miles apart. All aid stations except one supply water, Tailwind, soda, sandwiches, crackers, salty chips, pickles, fruit, and trail mix. Aid station 5 provides water only and lies less than two miles from the next station.
