The 5 Mile is a lollipop route, and the 50K and 50 Miler consist of mainly rolling hills with a plunge down to the bottom of the canyon and back.

- 50K: expect 4500 ft gain, mainly rolling hills with a few 200-500 ft climbs.
- 25K: expect 2900 ft gain, with the beauty and hardship of the 50K and 50 Mile course in one.
