Lap distances are: 10.50 miles, 10.17 miles, and 10.40 miles, for a total of 31.07 miles. Trail features include tree roots, rocks, standing water, mud, fallen trees, and stretches of sand. For relays, the changeover point is adjacent to the trailhead. In the 2-person relay one runner will complete one lap and the other will complete two laps; in the 3-person relay each runner completes one lap. The organizer requests that runners wear bright clothing due to hunting season in the state forest.
