The 50K uses three loops of the 17K course, alternating direction between loops.

For 2027, 5K and 9K participants are required to park at Mountain View Church and ride a provided shuttle into the park with complimentary park entry; 17K runners are encouraged to use the same parking as time permits. Pedestrian or walk-in fees may apply at park entry.
