A race manual is available and results and race photos are published online.
The event offers these distances:
- 50 Mile

Race operations include packet pickup and vet checks for riders, a pre-race briefing, a kids free fun run on a short loop, a banquet with awards, live tracking for participants, and a published final cutoff time. The event maintains course maps and detailed route files for each distance.
The race traces its origin to 1983 in Prescott, where it began as a bar bet that led to a recurring man versus horse competition. The organizing team also emphasizes local giving and supports Bethany’s Gait, a 501(c)(3) ranch in Prescott focused on horse rescue and programs for military personnel, first responders, and their families.
