The 14 mile “Hardcore” starts and finishes at the Hardesty Trailhead, climbing 3300 feet in the first 4.5 miles, descending 3300 feet in the  next 4 miles, and then rolling for the final 5.5 miles. The 5.5 mile  “forest-fiver” starts at the South Creek Trailhead and runs to the finish at the Hardesty Trailhead parking lot. Both distances are 100% single track trail.

The 14 mile event is very challenging, and has a 4 hour time limit. The 5.5 mile event is moderately difficult, with gradual ascents and descents and technical footing.
