Course Details
The marathon course has 5,883 feet of elevation gain. The course is described as very challenging, with an expectation that a runner who typically completes a road marathon in 3:30 hours would finish this race in 5-6 hours.
The route for both distances is made up of approximately 99.9% mountain trail and fire break roads, with only minimal asphalt crossings. There are technical sections of ascent and descent. Conditions may include snow, rain, mud, potential stream crossings, and rocks.
Event Format
The event is self-supported. There will be no porta-johns, mile markers, spectators, or volunteers directing runners on the course. Participants are advised to treat the race like an ultra-distance event and should know the course, run with someone who does, or be prepared to follow a course description or GPX map.
