Course, format and amenities
The course is a roughly 3-mile singletrack loop with about 400+ feet of elevation gain per lap. Each lap passes a waterfall, mountain creeks, and a vintage event barn. The 6-hour and 12-hour options use a timed format with no set distance; participants complete as many laps as they choose during the allotted time. The 5K covers one loop.
Because the event uses a loop, aid station access is frequent and runners have multiple opportunities to see others on course. Provided amenities include stocked aid stations with hands-on support, professional timing, well-marked course, onsite parking, long-sleeve shirts (size guarantee if registered by 4/1), custom wooden finisher medals, awards, and post-race food and drinks. Awards are given to overall winners and the top 3 in each age group: 29 & under, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
