The race features a unique course starting and ending at a designated coral near the lake, with a combination of dirt trail laps during the day and paved laps at night. Each lap spans 4.167 miles, requiring runners to complete it within an hour, with the first 11 laps covering a total of 45.837 miles along scenic dirt trails. The course offers a vibrant display of fall foliage as it weaves through mature maple, oak, and cedar trees, while participants navigate small creeks and enjoy the serene environment. At night, runners transition to a flat paved route that follows a flowing creek, set against the picturesque backdrop of the rural countryside. This section is not only enjoyable but also presents an opportunity for runners to improve their pace while taking in sights of local wildlife, from deer to chipmunks. The mix of challenging dirt trails during the day and the smoother paved path at night creates a dynamic and demanding 24-hour experience.
