The 32 kilometre MegaMuffin run is a 4-8 hour run/power hike including 21 kilometre of technical singletrack with about 1200 metres of ascent and descent, plus 11km of flat rail trail running. It is a very physically demanding course.
There are no aid stations on the course.
Cutoff is at 1:00 pm at the 18km point, at the entrance to North Ridge (following the first South Ridge loop) . That is approximately an average pace of 13 minutes per kilometre. The cutoff is to keep the event in daylight hours. Sunset is 5 pm on November 24.
