The Courses

Our planned course for both the 10 and 30ishK feature some of the more rugged and scenic terrain Whiskeytown has to offer. Both courses take our racers up along Brandy Creek.

The 10ishK starts at 9am with a final cutoff time of 2pm. Racers will continue up Brandy Creek until turning back on the Rich Gulch trail.
The 30ishK course starts at 8am with an intermediate cutoff at 10:30am at mile 8.5 (South Shore aid station) and a final cutoff at 2pm. This challenging course will add an out and back over Papoose Pass all the way to the bottom of Boulder Creek trail. As you can see from the elevation profile and stats, both of these courses feature a significant amount of elevation! Make sure you come prepared.

Please note: We will work with Whiskeytown Park staff to ensure course trails are clear and accessible by the date of the race. Until then, if you plan on pre-running your route, expect to encounter some trail issues.
