Starting at 4,500 and climbing to nearly 5,000, the courses feature elevation, varied terrain, and sweeping views of Mount Shasta, Pilot Rock, and Mt. Ashland. The 10K doubles the challenge with a second lap run in reverse, ensuring you experience the views from every angle.

The quintessential loop around Willow-Witt Ranch. We'll begin at the campground, traverse single track across woodland, meadow and farm before reconvening at the finish line for a gob-smacking breakfast at camp. (Seriously, this breakfast is amazing) -
