Course, aid stations and logistics

The course is a loop of 4.16 miles with approximately 815 ft of elevation gain per lap. Most of the route is on fire road and moderately technical dirt trails, including singletrack, long smooth climbs, descents, and twisty single- and double-track sections. Hiking/trekking poles are permitted. Courses are marked with surveyor ribbon roughly every 200 meters; blue ribbons indicate wrong-way trails.

There is one full aid station at the Start/Finish and a hydration-only station near mile 2. Aid stations typically offer energy gels, chews, stroopwafels, trail mix, pretzels, potatoes, cola, ginger ale, water, Skratch hydration mix, salt tablets, and fresh fruit. The event is cupless; runners must carry their own bottle or reusable cup. Races are chip timed (disposable chips attached to the back of each bib). All finishers receive a custom medal; overall and age-group awards are given. Parking at the park has no additional cost and camping reservations are handled through Skyline Wilderness Park. The presenting sponsor is Omen Wine Co. Volunteers receive a shirt, food, and event credit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
