The 25K and 50K races will start together at 7:00 AM. Both distances follow the same course, with the 50K completing the loop twice. This is a true trail run, with most of the course on single track. Expect approximately 2,500+ feet of climbing in the 25K and 5,000+ feet in the 50K. The course is designed to test mountain running ability with steep climbs, technical terrain, and rugged descents.
