Course and logistics

Participants run a repeated loop of about ~2.3 miles with a mix of single track, short ravines, a creek crossing, a gravel road descent, and a steep climb to close the loop. The format supports running through the night or stopping earlier; a pancake breakfast is served the next morning. Attendees are asked to bring a favorite aid station food item; breakfast will include pancakes, bacon, and coffee. Camping at the ranch is free for participants and cabins are available at a discounted rate. Bathrooms and showers are provided on site. The event includes check-in and a pre-run briefing the day of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
