Course, cutoffs and support
The 50K is an out-and-back course with seven aid stations (three are visited twice) and an oasis at the midpoint. Runners must complete the 50K course within 10 hours to be considered an official finisher. The 25K has three aid stations (one visited twice) and a cutoff of 4 hours 45 minutes. The course includes about 6.5 miles of sometimes-technical trail with roots, rocks and narrow sections near a creek, plus about 9.6 miles of forest service road and improved dirt roads. All finishers who complete their event within the official cutoff receive a finisher’s premium.
A series of semi-organized training runs will be held in September and October. One fall training run is scheduled for Sunday, September 28, meeting at the finish line; the training run will use the red trail and cover between 1 and 15 miles. Volunteers are needed to staff aid stations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
