The 50K includes roughly 26 miles of single track, with the remainder on dirt forest roads. The route features frequent ascents and descents on mostly moderate, non-technical terrain that organizers describe as largely runnable. The 27K follows the same initial segment of the 50K for about 8.6 miles to AuTrain Forest Aid before returning to Valley Spur Lodge.
