The course consists of roughly 6-mile loops on a mix of singletrack and gravel trails with technical sections and notable hills. Two aid stations will be open throughout the event: Start/Finish and Ironwood Summit (about 3 miles). The event uses a 24-hour cut-off for both distances. Only 100k runners may use a pacer for the final 50k; all pacers must register, sign a waiver, check in to pick up a bib, and follow race rules.
