It’s the hardest race you will ever love!
California's ultimate trail half-marathon will challenge you with climbs, peaks and vistas unlike any you will experience at any other half marathon. You will start in the town of Avalon, run past the Wrigley Mansion, and then enter the Interior for a few miles of climbs. You will be rewarded at the summit with sweeping views of Pacific Ocean where on a clear day will see two other islands that comprise the Channel Islands. After running past the summit you will run downhill through the Wrigley Memorial before finishing back in town. The 10K also boast an incredibly scenic course as it traverses the hillsides of Avalon.

Featured Speaker: Author, Coach and USA Triathlon Hall of Fame inductee, Cherie Gruenfeld.
Cherie will be speaking with us about her 30+ year career, sharing her tips on longevity in the sport of triathlon and inspiring us with her work supporting the lives of at-risk youth through her nonprofit organization, Exceeding Expectations.
Cherie is a 13-time IRONMAN world champion, multiple age group course record holder and a three-time IRONMAN 70.3 world champion. She is the founder of Exceeding Expectations, a San Bernardino-based nonprofit that encourages at-risk youth to move their lives in a positive direction using triathlon as a vehicle. The program prioritizes education, and through the support of generous donors, Cherie has been able to ensure that money will never be an obstacle for “EE Scholars” who are accepted into college.
