The course features a scenic loop starting at Sypes Canyon trailhead (get directions) and continuing across private property only accessible on race day.  Great climbs follow as the runners head up Middle Cottonwood after a challenging water crossing, then continue across the Bridgers and down Sypes Canyon. Waterstop at the entrance to Middle Cottonwood and an aid station at the top of Sypes Canyon.

Post-race fun includes food, beer, prizes and raffles!
