This course tends to range from 20mi to 36mi depending on how it is set up. The whole area is pretty flat except for the one hill that sticks up out of the desert floor and is sometimes crossed. The course consists of trails and some roads. There are some straight trails that follow the power lines and are pretty whooped out with some woops that are quite deep. There are some flat roads that wind down between  tall mesquite bushes. There is a small arroyo that has some rocks imbedded in it. There are alot of trail that winds in-between the mesquite bush hills. Most of the course is in the sand, the area to the north can get churned up to become some deep power robbing sugar sand. The promoter provides a commerative bandana when you complete the race as a memento. This is a fun course that will let you know what kind of physical shape you are in.
