Distance: 20 miles in 8 hours. There is no timekeeping and no failures; we only recognize the incredible courage it takes to rise to our challenge. Every participant completing the distance will be awarded their finisher medal and considered a winner!

​

Starting time: Several starting slots are available starting at 7:15 a.m. You can choose from specific time slots with limited capacity when signing up. This ensures the most remote hiking experience as a maximum of 5 participants cross the starting line simultaneously.
