The course is a technical trail through a historic coastal Georgia swamp. Surface conditions include sand, exposed roots, narrow single track, occasional boardwalk and palm sections. When wet, sections can become muddy with standing water and some boardwalks may be slick. Wildlife commonly noted at the site includes snakes, alligators, horse flies, fiddler crabs and raccoons. All finishers receive a drink glass for the Rough Runners drinking glass collection.
Event rules include leaving no trace, not disturbing wildlife and maintaining respectful conduct. Course cutting is prohibited; participants who miss a section must return to complete it before crossing the timing mat or face disqualification.
The event features a post-race gathering with awards, a waterslide provided by a rental vendor, and adult and kid snow cones. Proceeds support the Savannah Ogeechee Canal museum and trail preservation, and the Oggechee River Keeper group will have an informational presence.
