  • 20 Mile, loop with 4500 ft elevation gain.
  • 10 Mile, loop with 1500 ft elevation gain.

Entry options list prices for each distance, with the 50k and 20 mile priced equally and a lower fee for the 10 mile. The event is included in the ITUS and ITS series. Photographs and race history are maintained for past editions, and the event materials note a multi-year continuity. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
