The course

Where it goes multi-loop · 7 aid stations

Course line from the race's own GPX. Source file.

Two full laps of the 25K loop ("the 50k doubles the 25k experience with two full laps of the 25k loop" - swvarunning.com). loop_distance_miles uses the single lap's chart mile (15.8); the race's own chart finish for 50k is 31.1 mi, 0.5 mi under a literal double of 15.8 (31.6) - a small, unremarked rounding gap, not flagged as a conflict. elevation_gain_ft/loss_ft are 2x the single-lap GPX figures, assuming the two laps are elevation-identical as described.

The race
