Race Information


Half marathoners will run on the historic Western States trail, out to no-hands bridge and will then tackle one of the toughest climbs in the area, and training grounds for top runners, the dreaded K2. The latter portion of the half marathon will join up with the 10K and 5K runners and will traverse through meadows, single track, and farmland rolling hills, making your way back to the start/finish at the Cool Trailhead Staging Area at Hwy 49, where you’ll be treated to a wide variety of food and beverages. Preliminary results will be posted every 15-20 mins as people are finishing.

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

At Inside Trail Racing aid stations it’s like an all you can eat buffet, but this is a race, so don’t linger too long! 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. There will also be general first aid items but no anti-inflamatory medicine. We strongly encourage you to carry at least one 20oz bottle from which to sip while you enjoy your run.

    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.
