Loops run on natural rocky, elevated trails - Hillview, Shady Creek, Red Oak and Live Oak - with rocks and roots, plus about three paved sections totaling just under three quarters of a mile. The event is cupless - participants must carry their own hydration device or a collapsible cup. One aid station is located at mile 2 with water and electrolytes; water and electrolytes are also available at the start/finish. A bag drop and aid station for 53K/27K will be located near the finish with food and nutrition items.
The race is chip-timed and bibs contain the timing chip on the back. Awards are given to the Top 3 Overall M/F and Top 3 Masters (40+) M/F per distance by chip time; there are no age group awards.
