Half Marathon Course: The course takes place almost entirely on remote dirt roads. It is a single loop course beginning at approximately 8,700 ft. and traveling above 9,500 ft. Climbs and descents are fairly mellow for a mountain race, but we promise it will be challenging. Aid stations will be on course about every 3.5 miles complete with water, sports drink, and fruit. This race has a time limit - racers must be to mile 9 by 10:30AM. The race is chip timed. 8AM START.

5K Course: The course will take place on dirt roads and trails near the Fraser Rodeo Grounds. An aid station will be available at the finish line. The race is chip timed. 9AM START.
