RACE
COURSE map
The course is very rocky, wide, and hilly. The weather is expected to be 90 degrees at the start and 70 degrees at night. Regardless of the weather conditions, we will continue to race unless life-threatening circumstances occur. This course will be tougher than you expect.
This race is a cupless race so please come with your own water-carrying system whether that's a running vest, camelback, or hand-held water bottles/cups. We do not tolerate littering. One of our biggest values is being environmentally friendly. Help us keep the environment maintained to its natural state without hurting the natural ecosystem.
