The half marathon has most of its climbing in the first half and then descends through forested dirt road to join the 10K course near Packer Meadow. The 10K follows the Packer Meadow nordic ski trails for about 2.8 miles before joining the gravel road section that winds through meadows and sub-alpine firs.

Runners receive a Mountain to Meadow tank top, a finisher medal, chip timing, and a post race BBQ with brats and salad including gluten free and vegetarian options plus a Big Sky Beer beverage. Awards go to the top three male and female overall by gun time and to top male and female in each age group by chip time. Parking at the Visitor's Center is limited. Dogs are allowed on leash and must be cleaned up after. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
