Sorted hardest → easiest. Difficulty = equal parts total miles, total climb, and summed leg ratings (Easy 1 → Very Hard 4, team rating where it differs), scaled so the hardest slot = 100. Rating dots are in leg order — hover for the leg.

Get your legs on your Garmin watch

Cell signal is spotty on the course — load your legs as courses before race weekend so the watch can guide you (route line, off-course alerts, climb profile) with no phone needed.

  1. Link Strava to Garmin (one-time). Garmin Connect app → Settings → Connected Apps → Strava → sign in and enable the Courses permission.
  2. Save each of your legs on Strava. Open the leg's Strava route from its card on the Legs page and tap the ☆ star / save icon so it lights up.
  3. Sync your watch with the Garmin Connect app. Starred Strava routes are pushed to the watch automatically and land in Courses.
  4. Race day: start a Run activity → hold UP/MENUNavigation → Courses → pick your leg → Do Course. (Menu names vary slightly by model.)

Apple Watch has no native course-following — the WorkOutDoors app can import the same routes (export GPX from Strava), or use the map links on each leg card and run from the phone.

Night rules & official links (🌐 from the official 2025 race guide)

🦺 Nighttime hours = 1 hour before sunset through 1 hour after dawn: reflective vest for anyone out of the van, headlamp + rear flashing tail light for runners. In-ear headphones are banned (open-ear audio OK). Course is marked with black arrows on bright-yellow signs at each turn, plus yellow flags and reflective tags.
