Runners start the race about 18 feet behind the stop sign along Highway 12 at the Dog Lake Campground exit. From there, runners head onto the south shoulder along Highway 12, which they’ll follow for the next five miles until they reach Tieton Reservoir Road. There, they turn right and follow the road as it winds its way around Clear Lake, the start of a mostly flat stretch that lasts for the remainder of the race (after the downhill stretch at the beginning). The finish line lies just off the highway at Silver Beach Resort.
