Course and logistics

The 50K course uses most trails in the park, includes Misery Ridge and a loop around Gray Butte, and passes close to the Monkey Face rock formation. The 50K has approximately 5000 ft of ascent and 5000 ft of descent. About 85% of the 50K is on single-track trails and 15% on double-track and dirt roads. There are four fully stocked aid stations on the 50K.

The half marathon offers extensive single-track trail running, packs about 2500 ft of climbing into 13.1 miles, and has one full aid station. Approximately 90% of the half marathon is on single-track trails.

Due to limited parking at Smith Rock, all participants must park off-site at DD Ranch; a free shuttle will transport runners. Lodging options are listed in nearby towns; the event lists a lodging partner in Redmond about 15 minutes from the park. Post-race provisions include a burrito bar and beer offerings from Cascade Lakes Brewing and Athletic Brewing.
