The route moves south through the National Forest on dirt and gravel roads and includes more mountain terrain and single track than in previous years. Near Mount Pleasant the course follows the Old Hotel Trail and old jeep roads toward Long Mountain Wayside. After Long Mountain, the second half uses dirt and old logging roads plus several miles of single track. The last aid station is at Porters Ridge, then the course drops downhill for about 3.5 miles to Rt 56 and back to Montebello Campground. The full course travels through areas of the Blue Ridge noted for fall foliage.
