The Rubicon (November 6, 2027)
The Rubicon is described as a very difficult and remote on and off-trail foot race held at Oxbow Reservoir, CA, organized by Skybreaker Racing. The event is a backcountry group run rather than an official race, and it includes unmarked routes through the northwestern Sierra Nevada.
Route options include:
- The Requisite: ≈15 miles, ≈6,500 ft gain, 3 hill climbs, 2 water crossings
- The Resonant: 30+ miles, ≈12,700 ft gain, 6 hill climbs, 6 water crossings
- The Revenant: 43+ miles, ≈19,300 ft gain, 8 hill climbs, 8 water crossings
The event is largely self supported. There are no course markings, no aid stations, no medals, no medical team, no pacers, and no official crew support; drop bag locations are the only listed exceptions. Participants must complete The Requisite before attempting The Resonant in a future year, and must complete The Resonant before attempting The Revenant.
Registration is handled through the organizer and closes on Wed, Oct 20 at 11:59 PM PT. Further event details, rules, and logistics are provided in the event manual and organizer communications. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
