Packet pickup for all distances is available at the McCoy Flats Trail Complex the evening before the race, on Friday April 17 from 5:00 pm to 6:40 pm, and the morning of the race from 6:00 am to 6:30 am.
Course descriptions note trail loops that start and finish at the corral. The 5K is an easy loop with approximately 65 ft elevation gain, exposed desert terrain, and limited shade. The 10K follows a loop through a desert canyon with about 505 ft elevation gain. The 15K combines desert running to a first aid station, a one mile canyon section to the top of a bluff, a marked trail back to the aid station, and then the same 10K course back to the start, totaling about 677 ft elevation gain and a panoramic view from the bluff. Aid station presence is specified for the 15K route.
Course GIS files, PDF course maps, and elevation profiles are provided for each distance. A cash prize is offered when a new course record is set; prizes apply separately for male and female records and are $50 for 15K, $35 for 10K, and $25 for 5K. Course record times are listed for each distance and gender. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
