Noted course features include steep ascents and descents, significant cumulative elevation gain and loss, technical and flowing singletrack, and exposed sections where weather can increase difficulty.

For the 100 mile distance, pacers are permitted at or after 50 miles or at nightfall. The start and finish area is accessible to crew, and at least one additional aid station will be crew accessible.
Finishers historically receive locally sourced giveaways; specific swag details are still being finalized. Registration closes on September 10, 2026. A 2021 photo gallery is available to view past event imagery. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
