Course and logistics
The course follows the historic Bristol Hills Branch trail. The trail is nearly 95% single track and is described as not a groomed park trail. Organizers list the estimated distance as 100k+ (noting it "feels like 65 miles") and estimated elevation as 10,000 gain / 11,000 loss. There are 11 fully stocked aid stations, five of which have easy crew access.
Shuttle service to the start is available on Friday night only and is offered for an additional fee. Camping is free both nights: Friday at Ontario County Park (start area) and Saturday night at the Hammondsport Fire Hall grounds next to the finish area.
