For example, over a given 5 mile stretch, a runner could see a mile of beach, then a mile of sandy trail, cross a patch of open dunes, then enter 2 miles of forested singletrack trail, and so on. Terrain types alternate continuously throughout the race, presenting a unique challenge that will demand a runner’s attention and fitness. The course includes approximately 2,100' of ascent along with 2,070' of descent. Most of the elevation gain is seen during the forested loop portion midway between Aid Station 1 and 2, but the rolling nature of the opens dunes section between Aid Station 3 and 4 will take its toll.
