Offering three distances—25K, 50K, and 50 miles—the race features a challenging looped course with varied terrain including rolling singletrack, sand, and rock, along with steep, technical ascents and descents. Participants experience a wide temperature range from freezing starts to hot afternoons in mid-October.
