- 4 miles, Endurance Challenge (hourly loop format)
- 4 miles, Single Loop (chip timed)
The Half Marathon route features a steady climb with about 1600 feet of elevation gain in the first half, an aid station at 10 Mile House, and an all-downhill second half. The course for the half includes three aid stations and maps are provided for both races. The 4-mile Endurance Challenge requires runners to complete a roughly 4-mile loop within 60 minutes to begin the next loop; directions alternate every other lap and the event runs for up to eight loops. Runners must log drops at the finish area drop box for laps to count. The single-loop 4-mile race is chip timed and counts as a Fleet Feet Race Series 5K.
On-course support includes water, electrolytes and trail snacks at several aid stations. Participants receive a breakfast burrito at the finish and 15% off food at the clubhouse. The event supports local trail stewardship and fire academy cadet programs. Packet pickup, bike valet, limited parking locations, restroom locations, t-shirt cutoff and age-group award categories are organized in advance.
