The 50 Mile course is composed of a 35-mile loop plus a 15-mile loop and uses a variety of trail types, including wide fire roads, twisting single-track, deep sand, rocky sections, and rooty climbs. Aid stations are provided along the route and offer a mix of energy gels, snacks, electrolyte drinks, hot and cold options, and basic first aid supplies. Drop bags are available at Laguna Seca and Skyline aid stations; headlamps are recommended for runners starting the 50 Mile due to early running conditions.

Logistics notes include free parking within Laguna Seca Recreation Area, limited vehicular access to some aid stations, and a timing and tracking service for participants with a small timing fee added to entries. Inside Trail Racing holds a Special Recreation Permit from the Bureau of Land Management to use trails on Fort Ord.
