Course and logistics
The course mixes single track and jeep trail and includes roots, rocks and hills. Runners pass views through the trees of Bonita Lakes. The final single-track section is the Mardi Gras Trail, which features Mardi Gras beads and a downhill finish for the loop. Each loop ends by passing RFID antennas that capture split times. The parking area sits on the course, allowing participants to set up pit stops near the route. The course is marked with red plastic plates bearing a scorpion logo, red and black flagging tape, neon green arrows, and ground markings. Past results with splits are available for 2018 through 2025. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
