The course follows the northern Black Dome Trail and the Long Path from Acra Point, featuring approximately 15,000 feet of rugged, rocky, and steep climbs. Runners face a grueling terrain that often requires hiking and even hand-over-hand climbing, with limited aid stations spaced up to 3-4 hours apart, demanding strong self-sufficiency.
