The race begins and Wanoga Sno Park, where Runner 1 takes on the first 9.6 miles to Transition 1 at Aid Station 3. Runner 2 then covers the longest leg - approximately 11.7 miles - continuing along the course to Transition 2 at Aid Station 7 (mile 21.3). From there Runner 3 tackles the final 4.9 mile stretch - an uphill push back to the finish at Wanoga.
