- 50 km Ultra
- 25 km

The trail network is more than 90 percent single-track and includes rocky, rooty sections and sustained climbs and descents. A notable feature is The Spine, a roughly 2.5 km ridge-line that provides long prairie views; The Spine is on private property and requires permission before access.
Course formats: the 25 km is a full loop of the area, the 50 km is two loops of that route, and the 10 km follows a shorter version of the same terrain. Elevation change is listed as approximately 1200 m for 50 km, 600 m for 25 km, and 200 m for 10 km.
Support and logistics: all races start and finish at the same open field by the main parking lot. Aid stations are stocked and located roughly at 13 km, 25 km, and 38 km; crews and drop bags are allowed at the 25 km aid station at the participant's risk. The 50 km has a total cutoff time of 10 hours and intermediate cutoffs apply.
Mandatory gear includes on-course hydration and planned nutrition. The event is cupless, pacers and pets are not allowed, and poles are permitted with care. Included with entry are custom finisher medals, a running shirt, event food items, professional photography, therapy services, trophies, and ongoing safety support from local search and rescue. The event has donated funds to the Westman Trail Association to support local trails. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
