The course runs through Laurel Hill Park on the former Lorton Reformatory grounds, covering portions of 1600 acres. The start and finish are located under the old guard towers at the Workhouse Arts Center. The route uses a mixture of forested fire roads, singletrack hiking trails, stream crossings, grassy fields, and minimal pavement. Much of the singletrack surface is dirt and crushed stone. The course has no extended climbs but includes many short ups and downs. Only short pavement sections occur at the beginning and end of the race.
