Course and logistics
The route is reported as over 90% single-track with eight fully stocked aid stations spaced about 8-12 miles apart depending on direction of travel.

Participants must provide evidence of four hours of trail work or pay a $20 trail work fee; failure to meet this requirement by May 1 will result in removal without refund. Crew and pacers are allowed; pacers may join at the halfway checkpoint and must register at aid stations and sign a waiver. Hiking poles are permitted. Pets must be kept on leash. The event requests that participants follow state park and forest rules, practice leave-no-trace behavior, and respect others. Official finishers receive a custom buckle; sub-24-hour finishers receive an additional recognition. Unofficial finishers receive a challenge coin and a free entry for the following year.
