The event offers 50K, 35K, and Half Marathon distances along a historic route with views of the South Fork Yuba River and the Malakoff Diggins site.

Runners may go solo or with friends, submit GPS results online for a finisher award and ranking, and receive a medal plus finisher shirt. All-distance must finish by 5:00 pm; maps are advised due to past sabotage. Permit risk may affect refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
