The 4k course winds through scenic Independence and heads out to irrigated pasture lands and stunning views of the snow covered Eastern Sierra and the Inyo Mountains. The participants circle the alfalfa fields and come back through town for a fast finish back to the starting point.

The new 10k course goes south, east and then north of town past irrigated and open pasture, and shrub land The route is cool and flat. The course then heads west to the airport area and returns along highway 395 to the start-finish. The route is mostly unpaved, very comfortable to run, yet fast.
