From the organizers

Saturday, May 29, 2027.

This memorable course is waiting for you in the middle of the beautiful, historic downtown area of Georgetown! Don’t be fooled by this race being in the middle of the city. Thanks to the Georgetown Trails Foundation, we will be running on incredibly well-built, scenic, and fun single track dirt trails linking multiple beautiful parks together, all the while hugging the banks of the San Gabriel River.

No camping available for this race.

While every racer will get some cool swag, MAY 4 is the deadline to get a shirt.
