With a combination of technical sections, flat runs and the odd boardwalk, the course is a challenge. The trail runs alongside lakes, ponds and wetlands, beaver dams, steep inclines, creeks and mud holes. 

There is a campsite close to the start/finish line and a free meal will be provided to all runners on race day.

The race is 95% trail and 5% gravel road and fully marked and there are 5 fully stock aid stations along the loop.
