Course and logistics

The 14K is a single loop that crosses the Baldfaces and descends via Bicknell Ridge Trail. The 29K is two loops: the first loop crosses the Baldfaces and returns to the field, then a second loop goes over Mount Meader before returning to the start/finish. The terrain includes steep ledges, exposed sections, singletrack, and sections that require scrambling.

Aid and support differ by distance: the 29K has one on-course aid station at the start/finish area (passed at about mile 8.6); the 14K has no on-course aid stations. Mandatory gear for both distances includes 2 liters of fluids, 400 calories of food, a windbreaker or rain shell, and a space or emergency foil blanket. GPX navigation files and a water filter are recommended. Crew may be at the start/finish; pacers are not allowed. Parking and staging are on private property with a long driveway and grass-field parking; some roads near the venue are not suitable for RVs or trailers.
