The marathon follows K-Country singletrack and includes two creek crossings that may require running with wet feet. GPX tracks are provided for the marathon and the half marathon. Entry is limited to 150 runners.
Runners must carry mandatory gear at all times: a hydration pack or the ability to carry at least 1 litre of liquid, a jacket, gloves, and a head covering that covers the ears. Suggested equipment includes trail shoes, hiking poles, and bear spray. Aid stations supply water, electrolyte drink, cola, fruit, pretzels, and chips. There are aid station cut-off points on the marathon course at roughly 23 km and 32 km.
Facilities and rules: washrooms are located in the parking lot at the start and finish. Parking at Station Flats is limited. For safety and course management, dogs, headphones, strollers, and baby joggers are not permitted on the race course. All finishers receive a finisher medal; additional prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place in each gender for each distance.
