Most of the courses run on technical dirt trails and non-technical fire roads.

Hiking poles are permitted. Drop bag services are not available.
Aid stations provide a range of foods and beverages such as energy gels and chews, stroop-waffles, trail mix, pretzels, potato chips, PB&J, boiled potatoes with salt, soda, water, Skratch Labs hydration mixes, salt tablets, and seasonal fruit. Aid stations include basic first aid items. The event is cupless; runners must carry their own reusable cup or soft flask. Reusable cups and 500 ml soft flasks are sold at the event.
Parking is available at the Chabot Space and Science Center in the Oakland Hills. Post-race provisions include sweet and salty snacks and packaged foods.
