Course and race details
The trail system is made up of three different loops, each approximately 10 miles long. Half marathon entrants run one loop that goes up and over Bull Mountain plus a short section of double track to reach the half marathon distance. 50K runners complete each loop once, totaling about 30 miles with roughly 5,000 feet of total elevation gain. Runners pass the main aid station/start/finish after each loop.
The course includes mostly runnable single track with some technical sections, waterfalls, multiple stream crossings, rocky climbs, and steep descents. There are three aid stations stocked with vegetarian-friendly options, soups, fruits, some hot foods prepared in the evening, standard aid station fare, and volunteer specialties served until the last finisher. The event has a 12 hour cut-off. Pacers are not allowed. Awards are given to the top three female and top three male finishers in each event.
