The event includes a land acknowledgement noting historic ties of the Nuumu (Northern Paiute) people.
Course and logistics
The course is a roughly 3 mile loop with a 0.5 mile climb that gains about 800 feet to the top of Cline Butte, followed by a downhill return to the start/finish. Participants in the timed events repeat the loop as many times as they choose. Last Person Standing participants begin a loop on each hour and continue until one runner remains.
There is one aid station near the start/finish with snack foods, meal options during the later hours, and beverages including cola, ginger ale, broths, and electrolyte packets. The event has bib pick-up, a pre-race briefing, and post-event awards. A breakfast buffet will be provided for participants in 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
