CHINGONAS ON THE RUN: CAMP & LOOP

WHERE MILES, MOUNTAINS, AND MUJERES MEET.

Join us for a weekend thats more than just miles its a celebration of grit, comunidad, and the kind of campfire connections that linger long after the headlamps switch off.

On SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH, youll take on a 6-HOUR CHALLENGE to complete as many loops as your legs (and ganas) can handle within the 6-hour timeframe. Each loop is 4.16 MILES with 728 FT OF GAIN, winding through sweet single track trails in the heart of the ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST, summiting MOUNT HILLYER each time you circle. The loop starts and finishes at basecamp where our aid station will be ready to keep you fueled, hydrated, and cheered on every lap, every time. Click here to view route.

As a reminder you are encouraged to run at your own pace and ability. We are here to support you on any goal you set for yourself within the 6-hour time frame.
