Race Information


Runners will run on the historic Western States trail, out to No Hands Bridge then tackle one of the toughest climbs in the area, and training grounds for top runners, the dreaded K2 training hill. The 10K will head back to the Finish area along the Olmstead Loop Trail, while the Half and 30K tackle another tough, but fun, section… heading back down to the American River and back up the Auburn-Cool Trail (also known as the “Dam Hill”). The long series of switchbacks will bring you back to the Olmstead Loop, where Half runners will trudge to the finish. The 30K runners will do a bonus loop, traversing meadows, single track, and farmland rolling hills until you reach the finish at the Cool Firehouse.

Carpooling is highly encouraged. Bring some collapsable chairs for yourselves and hang out for a bit post-race.

Expect to find variety at our aid stations, including sweet and salty offerings like trail mix, pretzels, cookies, boiled potatoes with salt for dipping, regular soda, water (of course!), elecrolyte drink, PB&J finger sandwiches, gummy bears, salt tablets, you get the idea.

    does anyone know the elevation gain in the half?

  • Tim Stahler

    The half will have approximately 1,450′ of climb. Elevation profiles are being posted now!

  • Slowdancers

    Do you have finisher medals or only medals for top 3 age group winners?

  • Peter Fain

    Had a good time in the race. Wasnt really ideal for a first race back from an injury but it was fun none the less. The descent to no hands bridge was practically like running in a stream bed, as was many other portions of the course. The climb was fantastic. Enjoyed some turkey specatating near the top, and the home stretch on the olmstead loop was a muddy jaunt. Again, a good time.
