Course, camping, and services

The course is looped, with each loop described as 6.8 miles and about 380 ft of elevation gain per lap. Surface composition is mostly trail (about 80%), with some gravel, pavement, and sand. The loop runs through woods and along the lakeshore, passing campsites and lake views. Camping is available at lakefront campsites; when traditional sites are full, primitive tent/car camping is permitted in an adjacent parking area about 150 meters from the main trail head. Registration includes park entry and items such as a finisher medal, custom bib, race tattoo, giveaways, a collapsible hydration cup, post-race pancakes, complimentary race photos, music, and chip timing with lap splits and live results. Registration policies allow transfers and distance changes; refunds and deferrals are not offered except in the event of a sellout. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
