The half-marathon boasts over 4,300 feet of vertical gain and stunning views of the Presidential Range and Pemi Wilderness. Aid stations are strategically placed, and trekking poles are permitted for half-marathoners after mile 4.1. The event emphasizes safety and preparedness due to its remote, rugged terrain.
