I did two practice loops of the planned course on Monday, one loop "forwards" and one loop "backwards". Note that you are encouraged to run both directions, and which direction is which is still up in the air.

GPS is telling me each full loop is only about 6-2/3 miles, but I know it's lying. The problem is I don't know by how much it's lying (I suspect around 5-10%). So four laps is at least 27 miles, but could be close to the 31 miles I need for 50K. I'll see if I can find a little bit more trail to add into the mix, but ultimately the course will be however long it wants to be, and you can run however much you want to run.
