The courses pass views of Lake Winnebago, include technical single-track sections, wide rolling prairie areas, and the cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment with historical Lime Kiln Ruins. The event base is the Gathering Space in the upper lot, which provides the main aid station and ample parking. A second aid station will be located along the route pending final DNR approval.

The event is cupless; participants must supply their own hydration carriers or reusable cups and volunteers will assist with refills. A pasta buffet will be offered after each race.
