Course notes describe steep climbs and wooded singletrack through the bluff, with a nearly one mile downhill gravel finish on the 15k run. Mountain bike competitors follow most of the 15k course, including fast rolling single and double track, an early steep climb, and about one mile of descent to the finish. The 5k course is short and steep with no flat sections.
Aid stations: one station on the 15k course at 5.4 miles that is accessed again at mile 8.4; that station is available to the 5k course at about mile 1.7. Duathletes also have an aid station at the start and finish area.
