Course and logistics

The course runs on the south side of Blue Marsh Lake and follows a basic lollipop layout: 5.5 miles out, a 4.5 mile loop, and 5.5 miles back. The 50K distance repeats this loop and allows access to drop bags at mile 15.5. Surface is approximately 80% single-track trail and 20% gravel roads. Reported elevation gain is about 1500 ft for the 25K and about 3000 ft for the 50K. Aid stations are located at miles 3, 6, 10, 13, 15.5, 18.5, 21.5, 25.5, and 28.5 and offer water, Gatorade, and snacks; runners often carry a bottle for between stations and should bring any personal gels. Timing uses tear-off bibs; bibs must be visible on the front. Weather may include snow, ice, or mud and the race will proceed unless conditions make trails impassable.
