It features two race distances: a challenging 22km "Half Pounder" course with 963m of elevation gain, offering steep climbs, technical descents, and stunning views of old-growth forests and alpine vistas; and a 9km "Quarter Pounder" course, ideal for beginners, with a fun climb and flowy descent. Both routes start in the valley within the Mackenzie trail network.
