The 25K covers three loops and the 50K covers six loops of the same circuit. Parking and free tent camping are available at Swiss Valley Park, which is located near the race start and the campground showers. Free showers are provided for runners at the campground after the event. Free shuttles run between the parking/camping area and the start/finish area.
