A variety of distances are offered:

Layout details vary by distance. Runners covering under half marathon distance follow an out and back with required turnarounds. The half marathon is one loop, the full marathon is two loops, and the ultra includes the run to the 5k turnaround point. The route has rolling hills with a total elevation around 600 ft.
Support and facilities include an aid station with drinks and snacks every 10 km and a Race HQ/Base Camp located at the start and lap point where water and aid are available. Parking is included in the entry price. The event is cupless, so participants must bring their own bottles or cups for refilling.
