Course and logistics

The course starts and finishes at Shelter 1, Army Corps of Engineers. Runners follow the white trail west, then the yellow trail over the ridge of Sanders Mound, and then return to the white trail. 10K runners use the Lake Henry aid station and return on the blue trail before finishing. 25K and 50K runners continue past Mile Marker 9 to a connector to the blue trail; the 50K is two loops of the 25K course. 25K and 50K runners must carry a handheld or hydration pack. Drop bags are allowed at Lands End and the Start/Finish aid station.

Aid stations are listed with mile references, and the race provides an optional aid station that sits a little off course for some distances. The event is dog friendly - dogs must be leashed and owners must clean up after them.

Runners may change distance prior to the race with pro rata charges for upgrades; transfers of entries to other participants are not permitted. Race refunds, deferrals, or transfers are not offered.
