Course and terrain information notes 600 foot ridges and trail running through natural terrain. The relay course includes creek crossings, trail scrambles, and steep climbs. Organizers advise that the 10K is particularly demanding and indicate runners should expect substantially slower times than on road courses.

All entries include a marked course with aid, a finisher medal, eligibility for awards, and a post race barbecue and brew. Overall awards are presented to the first male and female in each distance. Age group awards are given three deep in five year age groups for male and female divisions. Additional add-on options are also offered.
