Most of the route is on moderately technical dirt trails and non-technical fire roads; hills can be long and hiking or trekking poles are permitted. Courses are marked with colored ribbons about every 200 meters; blue ribbons indicate wrong way. Aid stations supply energy gels, snacks, drinks, basic first aid items, and seasonal fruit; drop bag service is not available. Runners are encouraged to carry at least one 20 oz bottle because aid station spacing varies. This is a cupless event, so runners must carry a reusable cup or soft flask; reusable cups and 500 ml soft flasks are sold at the event. The event capacity is 400 runners and all races use disposable bib-mounted chips for timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
