The course runs along the edge of Hayden Lake and through pine forest, so the scenery shifts between open water views and shaded tree cover throughout. The terrain follows the shoreline, which keeps the route rolling rather than flat, with the lake visible for much of the way. Aid stations are spread out across the course with water, sports drink, and gels available, and there are toilets at each one.
