Course, distances and services
The event offers the following distances:

The course uses a roughly 10-kilometer loop with about 1,200 ft of gain per loop. Most of the climbing is on the Bible Point ascent. For the longer distances, loops 2 through 6 are slightly shorter and run on flowing single-track trail, packed dirt and a short section of gravel. The route includes a summit positioned near the middle of the loop.
There are two aid stations: the start/finish area and the top of Bible Point. Both stations will provide water, electrolyte drink, and a selection of snacks and food. All runners receive a custom Fractel hat and wool finisher socks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
