The course traverses hills and woodland valleys with varied trail terrain through northern hardwoods and evergreens. Runners follow granite rock and woodland paths that pass features named Lemon Squeeze, Look Out Point with views of the Lakes Region, and the Waterfront area.
Family and friends may attend as participants or spectators. After the awards ceremony, the Homecoming includes a barbecue and other camp activities. Barbecue tickets are listed at $15 for adults and $8 for children ages 6 to 12.
