The race course, a loop which begins and ends in Uptown Charlotte, is certified and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. In 2010 due to the increasing popularity of marathon events nationwide, it was announced that entries would be capped at 3500, although the actual number of entrants has never reached that level.
For example, consider two mountains whose summits are both at 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in elevation, and between them is a low point at an elevation of 2,000 feet (610 m). If a climber starts their journey at an elevation of 1,000 feet (300 m), their CAG is 4,000 feet (1,200 m) by the time they reach the first summit (i.e. 5,000 ft less 1,000 ft).
The loop course is primarily a single lane footpath, through natural countryside including forests and meadows. Each ten-mile (16 km) loop provides approximately 1,600 feet (490 m) of elevation gain. A thirty-mile run, part of the event through 2006, was replaced by a 150-mile (240 km) option beginning in 2007.
