For the inaugural race, check-in opened at 9:00 a.m. and closed shortly before the 10:00 a.m. start. The next event-day schedule is pending.
Parking is limited around the trailhead. Event signage, staffed lots, passenger pickup zones, and shuttle instructions will be published before race day.
This is a steep, continuous uphill effort: 3.01 miles with 1,625 feet of positive elevation gain on mountain road and a short trail bypass with stairs.
Trail-ready shoes, weather layers, sun protection, personal hydration, and any nutrition you rely on. Prepare for a much cooler or windier summit.
The 2025 course included water support along the route and at Wright Peak. Final aid-station locations for the next event will be published before race day.
Stay on the marked course, follow marshal instructions, yield to safety vehicles, and be alert for rocks and uneven terrain. Pets and bicycles were not permitted on the 2025 course.
The course is a steep mountain route and includes uneven terrain. Contact Lake County Public Works in advance to discuss event access or accommodation needs.
Rain, mud, cold, heat, smoke, or high wind can change mountain conditions quickly. Organizers inspect the course and may modify or cancel the event when safety requires it.
Spectator access and summit transportation are constrained. Final viewing, parking, and shuttle guidance will be posted with the event-day plan.
