The start location for both races is Lookout Campground. The course is remote and is run entirely on dirt roads. Total elevation change on the course is about 3,000 feet. A support crew is required to provide food and water along the way; runners may share a crew. Use of a map is required and there are signs at major intersections for the Pony Express Trail.
Course
The 100-mile race goes out 58.5 miles to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge and then returns, finishing at Simpson Springs Corral. The 50-mile race follows the same direction but finishes at the Blackrock Pony Express station site. Roads along the course are described as good for driving if not driven too fast.
