Race distances and routes may change based on trail conditions. The hiking division starts earlier than the main races, is led by two pace leaders, is non-competitive, and does not allow running; estimated finish times are about 2 hours for the Sport course and 3 hours for the Enduro. Spectators are welcome. Medals are awarded to the top three finishers by gender and age category in each distance and to top overall finishers; optional finisher medals and other swag can be pre-purchased or bought on site while supplies last. Certain items are not allowed on course, including dogs, headphones, strollers, baby carriers, and nordic poles except in hiking divisions.
