The course runs entirely on dirt trails and dirt roads. The 50K uses seven aid stations and the 50M uses nine aid stations. Elevation gain and loss vary by distance: the 50K includes about 6,100 feet of climb and descent, while the 50M includes about 9,500 feet of climb and descent. Course elevations range from approximately 4,700 feet up to 8,266 feet.
The trail half-marathon covers 13.1 miles of single track with climbing and descending.
