COURSE:  Both races start at a cool 4300' elevation, on pavement with adjacent grass.  The 5k gains 230' in elevation before participants execute a large sweeping mid-point turnaround to be rewarded with a fast downhill finish!  10k enthusiasts loop the elevation gain twice as they switch multiple times between pavement and trail before making the last turn for the 1-mile downhill finish framed with awesome valley views.  Manned water and aide stations will be provided for your comfort and safety.

WELCOME:  Ages 3 to 93!  Strollers, sport chairs, hand-cycles, and wheelchairs are allowed for the 5k.  Animals, bikes, skate boards, roller blades or other wheeled devises are not permitted. Although traffic is restricted to one lane with a pilot car, headphones are discouraged for runner safety.  

PARKING:  I-10 Exit 297 south onto J-6 Ranch Road, then follow the signs.  Multiple participants within same vehicle QUALIFY FOR PREMIER PARKING.  Be close to Check-In; Registration Tables; Info Boards; Portable Bathrooms; the Start/Fi
