Course and logistics
The trail running course uses single track dirt trails that run along the San Gabriel River and link multiple parks, including Katy Crossing Park, San Gabriel Park, Rivery Park, Blue Hole Park, and Chataqua Park. Surface types include hard-packed single track, some technical sections, short steep drops and climbs, crushed granite through San Gabriel Park, and short paved or concrete connector sections where runners may choose to run on adjacent dirt. The 50 km follows the 25 km course twice; the youth route is an out-and-back on Katy Crossing trails.
Aid stations are located at the start/finish area, a central cloverleaf aid station, and a basic resupply station in the longer third section. Runners must be able to carry enough water for up to five miles between aid stations. The event is cupless; participants should bring a cup or bottle. Drop bag service is not provided. Volunteers staff packet pickup, aid stations, course marking, and teardown. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
