The fire road is described as very wide and not very technical, with footing expected to be good in different weather conditions. A volunteer will record numbers at the turnaround to verify runners reached that point. Permissions for the course have been granted by the U.S. Forest Service. Parking is available at the race start, Horsethief Canyon Trailhead at Forest Rte. 16S04, Alpine, CA 91901. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
