The trail marathon is described as highly technical with between 3,000 and 4,000 feet of climbing, many rocks, roots, gullies, and 7-8 check points or aid stations. Marathon participants are required to carry personal hydration; both days use cup-free aid stations. Relay leg distances are listed as 6.1, 9.3, 6.5, and 4.4 miles. The Vale of Three Falls races use out-and-back routes on a seasonal gravel/service road with stone, gravel, or broken asphalt and a noted hill; aid station counts are 1 for the 5K, 3 for the 10K, and 5 for the 15K.
