Course and logistics
The route begins at a small pullout off the Quebradas backcountry byway. The access road is generally drivable in most sedans, though some washboard is present. Escondida bridge park is available as a carpool meeting and parking location; from there participants drive to the byway and then on a dirt road to the start area.
The course includes single and double track, arroyos, limestone and sandstone outcrops, a sandy climb on an off-road vehicle track, and a loop section that is run counterclockwise from a marked junction. Ribbons will mark the route; markings are described as minimal but adequate. Aid stations are minimal but will provide water and snacks; one location may be water-only. Cutoffs will be strictly enforced at aid stations: Byway Aid Station (Mile 7.5) by 10:30 AM, Johnson Hill (Mile 17.0) by 12:30 PM, and Byway Aid Station (Mile 24.5) by 3:00 PM.
