Course and race details
The 20 Mile run is a mountain loop that uses two track roads, gravel surfaces, and about 3 miles of pavement. The 50K is a newly added event for 2026. The 50K has a cutoff: runners must reach the last aid station, approximately 10 miles from the finish, within 8.5 hours or they will be disqualified. For the 20 Mile run, runners who expect to take more than six hours are asked to start with the 50K field. All runs start and finish on the east end of the powwow grounds near the white canopy and check-in table; runners are asked to meet 30 minutes before their run. Prizes will be given to the top male and female finishers in the 10 Mile and 20 Mile runs; prizes for the 50K are to be determined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
