This race, renowned for its unique beauty, spans just over 18 miles, climbs 2,609 ft, and descends 2,366 ft. It starts at the 2024 MICHELIN Guide awarded Sage Lodge trails, with a 10-mile climb that steadily increases in steepness, followed by an exhilarating 8-mile downhill that gradually eases in gradient. The entire course is off-road, with no pavement in sight. Instead, participants traverse a mix of trails, gravel roads, USFS dirt roads, and scree-covered jeep paths. The upper elevations in Emigrant Gulch are an out and back, and the rest of the race is point to point. The initial miles take runners through the rolling grasslands of the Paradise Valley foothills, near the Yellowstone River. From there, they ascend a deep gorge alongside the rushing Emigrant Creek, reaching a high point 2,609 feet above the starting elevation. At the high aid station, turn and take in stunning views of Emigrant Peak and the Snowy Block Mountains of the Western Beartooths. The course then makes a wild descent along Emigrant Creek, passing through the historic mining settlement of Old Chico. The race concludes on foothill trails, finishing at the legendary and renowned Chico Hot Springs Resort.
