Organized by Salt City Trail Racing in partnership with the park, the event offers looped trail courses composed of groomed trail, single track, and rolling hills. The looped course is about 16 miles with roughly 2,250 feet of elevation change per loop, so actual race distances are slightly over nominal distances.

The race begins and ends at the Art Roscoe warming hut in the Summit trail system. The course will be marked with flags and signs. Two well-stocked aid stations support runners; offerings include water, Skratch, fruit, pickles, PB&Js, chips, pretzels, cookies, candy, and ice if conditions merit. A limited selection of hot foods is available for 50 mile runners after mile 34.

All entrants receive a pair of SCTR socks. Prizes are awarded to top finishers in each gender division. The event is USATF sanctioned & insured, Trail Sisters approved, and listed as a UTMB Index race. Refunds are not granted; limited deferrals and distance changes have specific conditions.
