The race uses a loop format with 455 feet of elevation gain per loop, totaling 4,550 feet of ascent and descent over the 100-mile distance. Aid stations are located at mile 5 and at the mile 10 start/finish area, and will be stocked with basic items such as pizza, pop, rice and beans, potatoes, Gatorade, and GU. This is a cupless event - participants must bring their own cups, bottles, or packs for filling at aid stations.

For the 100-mile race, pacers may join at the start of the sixth lap (mile 50). Multiple pacers are allowed, but each must complete one 10-mile loop with the runner. Dogs, bicycle pacers, or other non-human assists are not allowed except by case-by-case approval for disabilities.
