Course and logistics
The course is on Hood River County Forestry Tree Farm and may change without advance release; organizers do not publish a course map for that reason.

There are 2 official aid stations plus additional bonus stations for snacks and entertainment. The event is cup-less. All racers must carry a water bottle (minimum 24 oz) or use a hydration pack. Pets and earbuds are not allowed on course. Number pick-up occurs the morning of the race. All registered racers receive an email the Thursday before the event. Registration is nonrefundable and entries are not transferable or rollable. Camping is available about 15 minutes away at Kingsley Reservoir.
