A combination of ranch roads and single tracks will take you up and down canyons to the crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains and to Gaviota Peak.

This endurance run will be a challenge! The course features multiple hills that you will climb and descend, pushing your body to the limit!

At Gaviota Peak and on the ridgelines, prepare to be awestruck by the breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and the Santa Ynez Valley.

Wrapped in a Mediterranean climate, the endurance run route takes in the beauty of a chaparral landscape featuring a mix of coastal riparian zones.
