The course primarily follows the MizMal route, covering a total distance of approximately 35.7 miles. The event is limited to a maximum of 40 participants, which includes 20 individual race entries and 20 participants completing the full multi-day challenge. The terrain features approximately 1,198 feet of climbing and 1,214 feet of descent.
