Course and logistics

The course is an approximate 10 mile loop composed of about 80% single-track trail and 20% jeep or gravel road. Each loop includes roughly ten creek crossings and about 950 feet of elevation gain. Race headquarters is the trailhead at the end of Deer Park Road. Two aid stations are provided - the start/finish area and Tomlin Hill trailhead - stocked with food and drinks. The event is cup free; all participants must carry a water bottle or hydration pack. 50K and 20 mile competitors may leave drop bags at the start for use on later loops. Ruck rules require minimum carried weight, gear checks at start and finish, and that weight be carried for the full course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
