24HR "The Grind"
The event takes place on January 29, 2027 in Perris, CA and is organized by Machete Trail Madness. It is offered as an individual 24 hour event and as a team 24 hour event for teams of four.
The course is a repeated 7 mile loop with 1,631 ft of elevation gain. The loop begins at base camp with about 2 miles of flat, faster terrain, then continues into roughly 2.5 miles of technical climbing through the Badlands up toward Russell Peak, and finishes with about 2.5 miles of downhill and flat sections back to base camp. Runners complete as many laps as they choose within the 24 hour format.
Team entries are for four runners in any mix of male, female, or coed. Each runner is assigned a number from 1 to 4 and teams must cycle through those numbers in that exact order without skipping or repeating. One team captain registers all team members in a single registration.
Top three individual finishers in each gender category and the top three teams will receive awards. Group Picnic C serves as the group campground and the start and transition area; attendees should enter via the Morene Valley entrance rather than Ramona Express Way. Registration must be completed by January 2, 2027 and participants who register by December 24, 2026 are listed to receive the event medal or buckle and participant shirt. Family friendly camping is available at no extra cost. Registration pricing on the event page ranges from USD 269.75 to USD 855.50. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
