Course Details

The race starts and finishes at the Stockade building near the camp's main parking lot. The course consists of two main loops. The first is a 19-mile loop. The second is a separate 12-mile loop. This creates a figure-eight layout. The 100K race requires completing this figure-eight twice. The 50K race requires completing it once. The 25K distance splits off from the 19-mile loop to achieve its total distance. The terrain is primarily trails with about 1.5 miles of packed gravel camp road.
