The start/finish is located at the motorized vehicle staging area and parking is in a nearby open area.

Registration information on the event materials also lists 6K, 12K and 22K, and shows tiered fees before and after 10/09/2026 as well as race-day fees. Race-day registration accepts cash, check or Zelle only. Bib numbers are distributed on race morning.
Aid stations will offer water only. According to the course map, the longest route (21K) includes one aid station at about mile 7; the shorter courses list no aid stations.
The race is presented as the third and final event in a Fall Series that merges elements of former Carson Canyons and winter trail series events.
