It offers multiple distance options,  typically a 105‑mile challenge, a 56‑mile mid‑distance, and a 19‑mile course,  giving both seasoned gravel racers and adventurous newcomers a chance to experience its unique mix of gravel, two‑track, and natural trail sections. The route winds through remote stretches with limited services, so self‑reliance is key.
