50K Course

Marathon Course
25.8 miles, 3,306 ft of vertical climbThe marathon course begins by running the 5K course, up the mildly-technical trail Girl Scout to the Caldera Lot (and aid station), and then down East Leg, a fun, moderately-technical trail. Continue around to Upper Lake View, down Snakeback, and around Lower Lake View before the long climb up the River Mountain Hiking Trail switchbacks. Once at the top, run along Skyline, one of the most technical trails in Bootleg Canyon, until coming to the Caldera Lot once again. Continue out and run the Outer Caldera Loop, ending up at the Caldera Lot again before continuing through the Inner Caldera Loop and hitting the Caldera Lot one final time. From there, cruise down West Leg, up and over the saddle conenctor trail onto Mother, a fun winding trail that runs along the side of a steep dropoff, and down onto P.O.W to the Monument Aid Station. Continue with a slow grinder up P.O.W. and Par None before crossing over and running Upper Lake View, Snakeback, Lower Lake View, and the River Mountain Hiking Trail switchbacks again, this time returning via Boy Scout through the Caldera Lot, down West Leg, across the saddle again, to Mother and down Mother's switchbacks to the finish line.

All aid stations will be stocked with water in water jugs (you must carry your own water bottle), Tailwind Endurance Fuel, energy gels, and an assortment of munchies and goodies to eat.
We have a very firm belief that true trail runners are explorers at heart and minimalists in many ways, therefore, our aid stations are self-serve, meaning no cups! You must bring a hydration system of your own to fill up with water, and reusable cup of your own for Tailwind Endurance Fuel and soda.
