All three routes travel together for 25 miles to the first checkpoint in Danielsville, with about 8 miles of it very close to the mountain. The Full Century then crosses the mountain along Blue Mountain Ski and runs along the north side for 28 miles (Rest stop at 52 miles) to Delaware Water Gap where it crosses back over, and winds its way to the town of Wind Gap (77-mile rest stop), then stays along the mountain for 7 miles before turning south to the campus.
The Metric (68-mile route) follows the 100-mile route over the mountain for about 38 miles, then branches off and crosses back through Wind Gap to the rest stop, reaching in 43 miles what the Century route does in 77 miles. The Metric then follows the Century route back to the campus.
The Half-Century returns along the mountain and meets the Century return route at 35 miles and follows it back to the campus. The Half-Century does not cross the mountain.
