The 10 Mile route climbs to a high point near mile 4 and returns past the same aid station at miles 2 and 6.5.

The 5k shares the first mile with the longer courses, has most climbing in the first mile, and has no aid station.

Aid stations supply water, gels, electrolyte drink, and snacks. Registered participants receive a unisex race shirt, a 2026 finisher’s award, a 2026 event T-shirt, and a post-race brunch of pancakes, sausage, and fruit with gluten-free and vegetarian options. The event also includes a post-race beverage from Big Sky Brewing Co., free post-race massage, Hammer Nutrition products at aid stations, and a post-race festival with vendors, shoe demos, and a raffle.
