You leave downtown Boonsboro on pavement, then climb about 1,172 feet over the first 5.5 miles to reach the Appalachian Trail. Rocky ridge running leads to the steep Weverton Cliffs descent to the Potomac. After that come 26.3 flat miles along the C&O Canal towpath, then 8.4 miles on rolling country roads to Williamsport. The point-to-point course measures 50.2 miles and finishes at Springfield Middle School. Cut-offs apply at mile 2.5, mile 15.5 and mile 41.8, and the overall limit is 13 hours. Everyone starts together in one mass start.
