Course and logistics

The course starts at the Sunrise Trailhead and descends into Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Runners ascend Stonewall Peak, run along wooded trails near the lake, then drop down Oriflamme Canyon onto the desert floor, finishing at Stagecoach Trails RV Resort & Campground. Most aid stations have easy access. The finish location offers the option to camp, a post-race meal served in the resort dining hall, and showers. Because the course is point-to-point, a pre-race shuttle is available as an add-on for $15 to transport runners from the finish area to the start in the morning; there is no post-race shuttle. The race is described as family and crew friendly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
