According to organizers, “The course provides mass-quantities of singletrack and it’s almost entirely unduplicated trail. There’s so much singletrack you might actually seek something wider after a while. Moreover, about the only non-singletrack sections of the 21-mile-one-lap race are the short start road, a few yards of asphalt, and that is it. And not only is it singletrack, it is majestic singletrack.”
