If you are looking for a super-fast, flat, easy course to set a personal record, you are probably in the wrong place. These courses have hills. If, however, you are looking for a great time on the trails, with beautiful scenery, awesome support and unique, high-quality shirts and awards, you have come to the right place!<\/p>\n
Hikers\/walkers are welcome.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n
The half marathon has a 4.5 hour time limit to finish the course.<\/p>\n
There are also the following cut-offs on the course:<\/p>\n
Hikers (starting at 7:00am) must reach this aid station by 9:30am. Those starting at 8:00am must reach it by 10:00am.<\/p>\n
All participants must reach this aid station by 11:30am.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t
Each course includes a very short section of paved trail (about 2-300 yards) with the majority of the courses being on fire roads. All courses will finish along a 1.10 mile stretch of beautiful and very well shaded single track.<\/p>\n
The half marathon and 10K courses will be single loops.<\/p>\n
The 5K course is a single loop that includes one out-and-back section. This course will include a steady, but not too steep, increase in elevation during the first half, and end with rolling hills down through the single track section.<\/p>\n\t\t
Want to follow the course with your phone or smart watch and know how to work with GPX files? You can do that by uploading the race course GPX file (created with “Ride With GPS”) into your favorite app. GPX files are on the course map.<\/p>\n

Those needing water more frequently are encouraged to carry a water bottle or hydration pack.<\/p>\n Toilets will be available at the race start\/finish area and near the Alhambra Creek Staging Area aid station (approximately halfway through the half marathon course).<\/p>\n Note: To lower the amount of waste, we ask that our half marathon runners (and all runners where possible) be “cupless” during their runs, especially at the half-marathon-only water stations.<\/strong><\/p>\n Since the course and conditions of these half marathon courses already dictate that carrying water bottles\/hydration packs is the best practice, this is usually easy to do. Water station volunteers will be ready to refill whatever container one brings. Runners can also carry reusable cups that easily collapse and can be stuffed into their pockets\/attached. If you wish to purchase a Hydrapak Speed Cup (available for $5 with sales tax), we have those available at our merchandise tent.<\/strong><\/p>\n Half marathon water stations will not have full cups waiting for runners, but safety is their priority and so if you have nothing and need the fluids, they will get a cup for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t Thank you to our race sponsors, through their contributions, our sponsors help keep entry costs down and expose our runners their outstanding products and services.
