Due to its popularity, the field is limited to 200 runners, selected by lottery.

Course

Both ends of the Baden Powell trail course are close to sea level, with a high point of 4,000 feet at the peak of Black Mountain. The course follows a scenic and very technical trail through a Pacific Northwest rain forest. Most of the trail is within the forest, and there are some spectacular vistas at a number of points along the way.

Records

The course record is held by Kevin Titus, who posted a mark of 4:42:37 in 2003. The women's record holder is Suzanne Evans, who clocked 5:18:57 in 2006.
