Course and logistics

The course is a single loop of about 20 miles, made from five legs of 3.2–5.3 miles each (run once for 20 mi, twice for 40 mi, three times for 100k, five times for 100 mi). The course direction alternates by year: clockwise on odd years, counterclockwise on even years. Terrain is roughly 75% single/double track and 25% jeep roads, with steep climbs, ridgeline running, steep descents, creek bottoms, pine-floor sections, and jeep roads. Approximate distance and elevation figures:

  • 20.35 mi : ~3,000 ft ascent/descent
  • 40.7 mi : ~6,000 ft ascent/descent
  • 61 mi (100k) : ~9,000 ft ascent/descent
  • 101.7 mi : ~15,000 ft ascent/descent

Two indoor aid stations are on course. Drop bags are allowed at both aid stations for solo runners (size recommended similar to a 14-gallon tote). Pacers must register and are permitted for solo 100k/100mi runners only after completing 40 miles; pacers are not allowed for the 40mi, 20mi, or relay entries. Cutoffs are given as total elapsed time per distance: 100 mi and 100k : 34 hours; 40 mi : 20 hours; 20 mi : 8 hours. On-course hydration is supplied by a local company. On-site indoor camping with shower access is available for race weekend; open fires are not permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
