Course Maps + Details
Course Guides + Handbook
The Course Route Guides have it all! Detailing each leg's distance, elevation gain, start/end point and a link to the Strava segment so you can start training!
Relay Structure:
Teams will complete the course using a single vehicle for transportation between exchange points. While one runner is on the course, the rest of the team will travel ahead to the next exchange location.
All exchanges are located at trailheads and are accessible by car, making transitions smooth and easy to navigate.
Teams have full flexibility in how they divide their legs. Runners can complete one leg at a time or take on multiple consecutive legs—it’s entirely up to your team’s strategy.
When not running, teammates will act as the support crew from the team vehicle, helping keep runners fueled, hydrated, and ready for their next leg.
Check out the handbook for more information!
