Participants can choose between the 50-mile, 50 km, or 27 km trail courses, each using portions of single track in the Boise Foothills including popular segments like Dry Creek and Shingle Creek. The 50-mile has about 7,600-8,000 feet of elevation gain; the 50K has around 4,600-5,000 feet; and the 27K is an out-and-back route using parts of both longer courses. Start times vary by distance, with the longest going first. Cut-off times are enforced on the longer distances to ensure safety and logistical support. The terrain is mostly trail, quite rugged in places, with lots of climbing, descending, and technical single-track.
