Race Info, trail etiquitte and rules
California State Parks has graciously permitted our use of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park trail system for this race.
The 30K course is 75% gravel fire road and 25% singletrack.
The 10.5 mile course is 50% gravel fire road and 50% singletrack.
Parking for both races is located at the log deck near the Albee Creek Campground. We will have traffic monitors out on the road to point you in the right direction. Please note that parking is about 0.5 mile from the start/finish. Please allow extra time to account for that. We think it makes an excellent warmup for the race.
Gear check will be provided at the start/finish area. To cut down on trash, we ask that you bring your own duffle or backpack and attach your name and bib number to it. We aren't responsible for any lost or stolen items.
Please respect park rules so they will continue to allow us to use the trails:
- Don't cut the switch backs.
- No dogs are allowed on any trails. They are restricted to the campgrounds and parking areas only.
- Please don't litter!
- Parking along Mattole Road on race day is prohibited. Doing so may jeopardize our permit for future years. We will have designated traffic monitors out there to guide you.
Our own rules:
- Due to insurance limitations, bicycles and jogging strollers aren't permitted on the course.
- Be aware of other trail users, this is not a closed course.
- If you choose to wear headphones, listen quietly enough that you can hear other participants coming.
- On narrow singletrack trails such as Johnson Camp, please announce your intentions before passing others.
- All participants are required to run with a water bottle. If you finish without one, we will disqualify you.
