The trail follows the White Oak River and adjoining salt marsh and forest, and includes various aluminum and wooden bridges. The surface is described as well-groomed crushed gravel with minimal trip hazards and minimal elevation gain. Participants may run or walk as much as they like during the 24-hour period.
