About

Set amidst the breathtaking foothills of the South Bay, this race unfolds within the scenic Rancho Cañada del Oro Open Space Preserve. Runners tackle one of the hilliest courses in the area, rewarded throughout with sweeping Bay Area vistas at the base of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The route winds through a mix of technical singletrack trails and rolling fire roads, passing hidden creeks and old oak trees that offer welcome shade along an otherwise exposed course. Lush foothills, panoramic scenery, and a challenging elevation profile create an unforgettable experience for those ready to embrace rugged terrain and natural beauty.
