Over The Hill Track Club High Desert 50K & 30K
The Over The Hill Track Club presents a race weekend in Ridgecrest, CA, with multiple distances that start and finish at the Cerro Coso Community College gym parking lot. Distances include:
- 50K
- 30K
- 10K
The 30K and 50K use loop courses on rolling desert terrain over dirt roads, with elevation ranging roughly from 2400 ft to 3500 ft. Temperatures on race day can vary widely, so layered clothing is recommended. Nine aid stations are placed along the 30K and 50K routes; participants are advised to carry a water bottle between stations. Ibuprofen will not be provided.
Facilities at the start/finish area include gym bathrooms and showers and a nearby grassy area with shade trees and picnic tables. Finish-line refreshments include pizza and soda, and a complimentary drink is offered by June Lake Brewery to those of legal drinking age.
All finishers receive a handmade ceramic medal. Awards are given to overall and age-group finishers in the 30K and 50K, with separate Military Division awards and special recognition for repeat finishers. Early starters are not eligible for awards. Entry is restricted by minimum ages: 17 for the 50K and 16 for the 30K. Pets are not allowed on course or in the start/finish area.
Shirt orders are guaranteed only for paid entries received by November 1, 2026. Bib and shirt pickup locations include the California Welcome Center and the race start line. Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable; a credit policy offers diminishing credit amounts depending on how far in advance a runner withdraws.
