Course and logistics

The course uses an approximate 10-mile loop that is about 80% single-track trail and 20% jeep/gravel road. Each loop has roughly ten creek crossings and about 950 feet of elevation gain. Aid is provided at two stations, stocked with food, water and drinks; port-a-potties are available at the trailhead and the Tomlin Hill aid station. This is a cup-free event; all participants must carry a water bottle or hydration pack. Drop bags are allowed for 20 mile and 50K runners for use before later loops. Ruck participants must carry the required minimum weight (30 lb men, 20 lb women), wear any load-bearing gear for the entire event, and will be checked at the beginning and end. Race headquarters is the Deer Park Road trailhead; parking is limited and packet pickup is available at a local store before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
