All races meet and end at the Naturalist Cabin at Old Man's Cave, 19852 St. Rt. 664 S in Logan, Ohio.

The new 20k (12.5 miles), 40k (25 miles) and 60k (37.5 miles) runners start/finish at the Naturalist Cabin. (The 60k trail follows the 20k trail three times; the 40k follows it twice.) The course runs up the paved service road towards the road to the Lodge, then down steps into the woods following the Purple (Whispering Cave) Trail back past the Naturalist Cabin, over the A-Frame Bridge, then left onto the Red (Gorge Overlook) Trail until crossing the Campground Road onto established single-track consisting of mostly Bridal Trail, until dropping back onto the Red (Gorge Overlook) Trail. Proceed to, and cross, State Route 374 running a short distance until turning left onto the Utility Service Road leading to a more single-track trail. At the Fairview Road crossing the course enters the Hocking Hills Organized Youth Camp and follows the gravel road until re-entering the forest at the end of the gravle road onto a more single-track trail which empties onto a short road run starting at the intersection of State Route 374 and State Route 56 until entering the Ash Cave Rim Trail. From the uphill Rim Trail (opposite direction than the hikers) the course proceeds on the Buckeye Trail until joining the 10k Fire Tower trail out to the turn around and then continuing to the finish on the same trails as the 10k course. Water stops are located at the Utility Service Rd. (off State Route 374), Ash Cave Entrance, Cedar Falls parking lot, Campground Playground, and the Registration Table/Aid Station. The new course is almost entirely trail with some more technical trails than the old one, and a few shallow water crossings, so be prepared for a little more challenging and much more exciting trail run event!
