Course, format and amenities
The course is a singletrack loop of about 3 miles with 400+ feet of elevation gain per loop. Each lap passes a waterfall, mountain creeks, and a vintage event barn. The course and venue are on private property reserved for the race weekend.
The timed format has no set distance; participants complete as many laps as they choose within the 6-hour or 12-hour periods. The loop design provides frequent access to an aid station and opportunities to see other runners each lap.
Race services include a stocked aid station with hands-on support, professional timing, well marked course, onsite parking, packet pickup (available Friday evening and Saturday), post-race food and drinks, awards, custom wooden finisher medals, and soft long sleeve shirts (register by Apr 1 to ensure size). Awards go to the top three in overall and age groups: 29 & Under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Camping departures occur Sunday. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
