15 Mile
The 2023 15 mile course is unchanged from previous years (GPX). See the 2021 courses map for details. There are no cutoffs for the 15 mile race. However, for the safety and consideration of our aid station volunteers we ask that all 15 mile runners maintain as least a fast hiking pace. Our expectation is that all 15 mile participants will complete the race in less than 7 hours.
50k and 50 Mile
The 2023 50km course will be the same as 2019 except the Quemazon AS has moved to the Ice Rink (mile 24.7) for 2021. See the 2021 courses map for details.
The 2023 50 mile course will be the same as 2021 which is roughly 2 miles longer than 2019. The course is actually about 53 miles. See the 2021 courses map for details.
