The course takes participants along the Lake Trail and onto Rattlesnake Ridge, forming a scenic counterclockwise loop near the Dogwood Pavilion. Participants face cumulative fatigue, the challenge of running throughout the night, and varying conditions—requiring preparation for technical terrain and low-light segments. The unique format emphasizes resilience and determination, creating a test of perseverance in a natural, wooded setting.
