The location features a beautiful lap course with incredible scenery that goes through dramatic changes as the light passes through from sunset to full moon to sunrise, making a very unique and memorable race experience that you'll love.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE

Starting at 6:00 PM, before sunset, gives runners a few hours of daylight to get familiar with the course, then running through the night to the sunrise and into the day for a unique and fun experience.

RELAY TEAM

As a team, run the 6/12/24-hour or 100-mile race up to 30-hours in a 4-person team relay, taking turns doing laps or sets of laps equally to get in as many laps as possible as a team.

CAMP ON COURSE

Camping at the race adds to the overall race experience. Giving you a home base before, during, and after the race, where you can rest, access your stuff, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are running 12-hours or longer, we highly recommend setting up camp for the best experience.
