The 100 mile course is described as closer to 108 miles and runs from and back to the City Park in Sturgis.

The Deerfield Trail (Trail #40) forms the final miles before the halfway point at Silver City. The 100 mile race uses eight aid stations, seven of which are visited twice, and allows drop bags at Elk Creek (miles 19/87), Dalton Lake (32/74) and Silver City (53).
The 50 mile event covers the back half of the 100 mile course and starts in Silver City. The 50 mile course has seven aid stations and drop bag locations at Dalton Lake (mile 21) and Elk Creek (mile 34).
