experienced ultra runner looking for a great training run, come out

running on the fun and
challenging trails surrounding Beal's Point at Folsom Lake.
What's New?
-
Aug 28th
race will be hot! -
Tonight's race temperature will be
hot!!
Be sure to hydrate well today.
We will provide plenty of
ice water and sports/electrolyte replacement drink at the
aid
station as
well as bananas at the start/finish site.
Tonight's course will be the same as last week for the
short/3mi course.
Due to the high
temperature, we have decided that for the safety of the long
course runners (6mi), they will be running a double 3mi
loop.
This will provide
the benefit of passing the aid station four times and
the option of re-hydrating as you pass through the
start/finish site as you set out for the second lap.
If the temperature tonight at race start is
100+, you will earn
double points!!

ABOUT THE COURSE
Both short (3 mi) and long courses (6 mi) are on fun
single-track, hiking trails and fire roads.
Both courses will vary a bit from the
Spring series...adding a climb up to the water tank on the 6 mi
loop. The reward...an amazing view of Folsom Lake!!
A great training course for Xterra events.
Walkers may
participate in the short course event. Due to limited daylight,
walking the long course is not allowed...sorry.
You will encounter - dirt, rocks, tree
roots, sand, sweat, great views,
serenity, nature's beauty, smiles, runners having a great time...!!
