The route is approximately 78% single-track, 20% gravel or dirt road, and 2% pavement, and includes 12 full aid stations. The 100 mile race has a 32 hour, 1 minute and 18 second finish cutoff and serves as a Western States qualifier.
The 50 mile starts at Swampy Lakes Sno Park, has about 6 full aid stations, and includes a pre-race one-way shuttle to the start as part of entry. The 100 mile event offers an optional one-way shuttle from the finish to the start for a fee of $35 per person; shuttle tickets are non-refundable.
