The routes are not road-centric; instead, they consist of wooded, forested sections with natural terrain and elevation changes characteristic of state-park trail systems. The 20-mile and 50K courses primarily follow the blue-blazed Glacier Ridge Trail (part of the North Country Trail), while the 50-mile and relay courses extend further along the same trail network.
