About This Event
Set in California's rugged Mendocino County, this running festival offers a distinctive loop-based format that accommodates runners across the distance spectrum. The event centers on a challenging 6-mile loop that climbs from the Big River valley to the valley's edge, gaining 875 feet of elevation through mostly singletrack terrain. Runners can choose between fixed distances (10K and half marathon) or timed challenges (6-hour and 12-hour formats), making it an inclusive event for both newcomers to trail running and seasoned ultrarunners looking to test their endurance. The race's multi-format approach creates a unique community atmosphere where runners of different abilities share the same challenging course. The organizers emphasize runner support with well-stocked aid stations, and the loop format allows for easy spectating and crew access. The Mendocino coast's natural beauty provides a stunning backdrop, though runners should be prepared for the technical singletrack and sustained climbing that characterizes each loop.
