The 50K is five loops, the 50 mile is eight loops, and the 30K is three loops. A headlamp is required for the first lap because it will be dark. The course is typically runnable in road shoes.

Support crew access is available at the start/finish and a mid-course aid station near Oak Grove. Two aid stations are provided on course. The race is cupless; runners should bring a hydration solution. Drop bags and portapotties are available at the start/finish, with an additional potty mid-course. Awards are given to the top three finishers in each timed event by gender divisions and masters; finish place is determined by Finish Time.
