The 50k is a UTMB Index race and consists of five laps. The course passes the park observatory, which houses a large private telescope.
Course and logistics
The 10k course accumulates about 900 ft of elevation gain; the 50k accumulates roughly 4,500 ft. The course will be marked with yellow arrow signs and orange lawn flags. Porta potties are located just off the course after the lap turnaround. Aid stations are located at mile 3 and at the start/finish area each loop and will offer Skratch electrolytes and chews, water, soda, fruit, and a variety of snacks.
Runners can set up belongings near the finish for each loop; space for ezup tents is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tents for minimal bag storage will also be available near the finish. Parking is organized at the group reservation drive around the park; extra parking spots are marked on the course map and may require leaving and reentering. Carpooling is encouraged. Timing uses the Ultrasignup app and bib numbers must be visible. All finishers receive a custom medal; the top three male and female finishers receive custom awards. Online registration closes May 15, 2026; race-day registration is available by cash, Venmo, or Zelle. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
