Course and race format

The course is a trail layout made up of two loops: a 3-mile outer loop plus a 2-mile inner loop. The 5 mile distance completes one circuit of both loops; longer distances repeat loops as needed. The route uses off-road, non-technical wide trails with rolling hills and some rocks, and it includes a short section of gravel road. There is no single-track section, and the course resembles a cross-country layout. The 5 mile course has a total ascent of 525 feet. An aid station is located near the junction of the two loops.
