Course and logistics

The course follows the historic Bristol Hills Branch trail, a point-to-point route that is described as nearly 95% single track. The organizer notes the course is not a groomed park trail and contains sections that may be more difficult than elevation profiles suggest. Course details list an estimated distance of 100k+ (noted as "feels like 65 miles") and estimated elevation of 10,000G/11,000L. There are 11 fully stocked aid stations, five of which have easy access for crew. A shuttle service to the start is offered on Friday night only; the shuttle option is available for an additional $10. Camping is free Friday night at Ontario County Park (starting area) and Saturday night at the Hammondsport Fire Hall grounds (finish area).
