Course & Logistics

All races are held in the scenic Cleveland National Forest and Santa Ana Mountains. The courses involve significant elevation gain and are remote, requiring self-sufficiency. Well-stocked aid stations are provided along the course. Crew access is limited, with 50-mile crews allowed only at the Silverado aid station. Pacers are permitted for the 50-mile race but not for the 50K or 30K. Drop bags are allowed at designated aid stations.

The 50-mile race is a Sterling Silver Ticket Race for the Angeles Crest 100 Mile. The top two male and top two female finishers earn guaranteed entry into the 2027 AC100, provided they complete eight hours of trail work and pay their entry fee.
