Trail surfaces are described as generally smoother than typical for the region. The 5k and 10k use western loops; the Half Marathon goes farther east; the Marathon is the Half Marathon loop run twice.
Approximate elevation gain: 5k about 660′, 10k about 1320′, Half Marathon about 2800′, Marathon about 5550′. Aid stations: none on the 5k; one aid station on the 10k (about 3.3 miles); two on the Half Marathon (about 4.9 and 9.9 miles); five on the Marathon (about 4.9, 10.0, 13.3, 17.8, 22.9 miles).
