The 20 Mile run is described as a loop in the mountains that uses two track roads, gravel surfaces, and approximately three miles of pavement. The 50K is a newly added distance for this edition of the event.
The 50K has a cutoff: runners must reach the last aid station, which is approximately ten miles from the finish, by the 8.5 hour mark; failure to meet this cutoff will result in disqualification. Information about prizes notes awards for top male and female finishers in the 10 Mile and 20 Mile events, while prizes for the 50K are to be determined.
Logistical details are provided for the powwow grounds location and course surface types. The description focuses on event dates, distances, course composition for the 20 Mile, and the 50K cutoff policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
