Their courses go up Peaked Mountain, passing through fields and aspen glades with views of the Teton mountains.
Registration is capped at 200 total participants per race, and there is no registration on the day of the event. The event is a cup-less race, so participants must bring their own receptacle for drinks and food. A Hydrapak SpeedCup is provided to each runner.
