Costumes
Besides our awesome race course, one of our greatest attractions are the costumes that our competitors come up with for the event. They can get extremely creative with their individual or team costumes. Prizes for the best overall costumes!
The Course
The course is about 12.5 miles in length, and consists of smooth, fast flowy trail, short sections of small-to-medium rocks, fast descents, short steep climbs, mellow rolling single track, berms, gravel roads, a few arroyo crossings, and more. All-in-all it is one of the fastest, smoothest, least technical race courses in our area!
